**blue02Z** · 10-05-2009, 05:49 PM

**02sunsetorangeZ** · 10-05-2009, 06:21 PM

Your car looks a lot better with the new wheels!!

**SSwt00SS** · 10-07-2009, 07:30 AM

personally not a fan of black rims/polished lip. everyone has overplayed it. its boring and tacky to me, esp since its always vette or TT's wheels.

however as long as youre happy thats all that matters.

one suggestion, ever consider removing the side molding? look into it!

**5abivt** · 10-07-2009, 09:05 AM

Not a fan of black wheels at all. dark wheels just successfully make a wheel 'appear' smaller than they actually are. those 'look' like 16s. I do like the wheel style but I think it would have looked sweet in a 19 or 20 inch all around.

**allbaugh_04** · 10-07-2009, 10:08 AM

Looks better, ever consider clear corners? I am a fan.

Hmmm, I wonder what SOM calipers would look like? Removing side molding will make it a bit cleaner if you wish.

**TRANS-DAD** · 10-07-2009, 10:29 AM

I think it look's great!! the touch of blk goes nice w/that color!.....mite tint side markers

**Firebirdjones** · 10-07-2009, 11:49 AM

I like the torque thrust wheels, although not a fan of black wheels of any type. Not too bad on your car, but I see them alot on black cars and they look like the Bat Mobile,,,lol.

Nice color, overall not bad. I'm of a much different opinion on the other suggestions,,,,I prefer the orange front markers on any color car.
And I never understood why people remove the side moldings when you still have the seam from the front and rear bumpers anyway. Now if the bumper seams weren't there I could see it,,,,but.

Drive it and enjoy it no matter what people think. It's yours

we plan on keepin the side molding, maybe puttin '70 style z28 emblems on. and whats funny is i told him monday it would be cool to do black caliper brakets with som calipers!! o yeah we also gonna put my stock headlights on it cuz i did the wisper mod back in the day

**02sunsetorangeZ** · 10-07-2009, 01:23 PM

thanks guys, only got a few haters. I would have went with chrome, but i have never seen an SOM with black wheels and with me goin to black everything out, the chrome wheels i think would just throw it off.
