I was talking to my neighbor and he started asking about my car. He told me that he knew a guy who could get me brand new 18" rims, wrapped, for about $1000, give or take. I need new tires anyway, so why not. I like chrome but I like some black on black rims too. I just want to know what you guys like, chrome on black, or black on black? I have a black 94 Z with chrome (mirror) tint windows. Which would look better?

I don't like chrome or black rims but I like chrome better than black.

Its all personal preference, black I think would look good on a black camaro, go knight rider...lol. But shiny looks good to. Either way its going to look good...

Even though i'll sound hypocritical because I got black rims on my Monte, I say go with 5 spoke chrome wheels for the Maro.. for me it would just fit more than black rims and for some reason I hate black rims on Camaros..

Do you guys see a lot of black cars with black rims? I think more and more are popping up around where I am and maybe I should just stick with chrome, I don't know. Its just a tough decision for me, but I have to see the rims available to me before I make a decision I guess.

Actually, oddly enough I see more white cars with black rims than black cars with black rims.. I think thats the worse combination.. it just doesnt look right on white cars.

That does sound bad, but I've seen white cars with white rims. White rims just look cheap and 2 dimensional.

I was watching Unique Whips last night and they were doing a black lambo and they put black rims with chrome lips on it and it looked freakin awesome. So, that decides it, I am going with black rims with the chrome lips. Well, ultimately, I'll have to see what is available to me before I make the final decision.
Maybe I'll mix and match and get 2 black and 2 all chrome spinners. Does that just mean we can hack of 2 of Rally's limbs then?

you need to lower that 2-3 inches to make it look even better.

I like the chrome lip, it adds a nice touch to an otherwise all black car. I do see the appeal of chrome but my friend is getting deepdish chromes on his new black GT, so I might stick with black. If I do get chrome, I don't want a lot of chrome. I like the Z06 wheels that a lot of camaros have.

Deepdish is the worst type of rims.. they never look good unless you're putting some pretty big racing tires on em and only for racing..

Yeah, he said he was getting 20" rims too. I haven't seen them yet, but he has similar taste in car stuff as I do, so we'll see. I think they'll turn out ok. I think 10x20 rear and 8.5-9x20 in front.
By the way, what's the widest I can go on tires for my 94Z without any extra modifications (ie spacers) and keeping the front and rear the same dimensions?

Rally, if I understand your post correctly, I could go 9.5x18 in the front and 11x18 in the rear?
Why would the 17" tire in the rear be 20mm larger than the 18" in the rear?

Today I saw a set of black wheels with chrome centercaps and the chrome lip. Unfortuanately, they were on a black cobalt, but still looked interesting.
