NBM w/ black wheels???
My car is NBM. i still have the stock wheels. i was thinking of putting black wheels on it. Anybody have any pictures?
i was even considering doing black 35th stripes or maybe black hood scoop and berger panel instead. And also blacking out all the lights.
i know most of you guys say black and nbm dont go well. But to tell you the truth i would rather have a black car (and a m6). But it looks like im stuck w/ it

my car is NBM also. Personally i think black wheels would look bad on "our" cars I would go chrome.
As far as blacking out the lights I plan on doing it I have seen pics and they look good
Berger panel wouldn't be worth it in my eyese hardly noticable and im not a personal fan of strips
thats my opinion hope it helps

Just my $.02, but black wheels and the Berger panel on a NBM SS look muted to me. I think they look pretty sharp on other colors (where black represents much more of a contrast), however the black on navy blue never really worked for me.
Personally, I went high contrast on mine -- tinted the windows pretty dark and stuck with the chrome 10 spoke wheels and added a billet grille.2002 Camaro SS M6, 2.5 PRC 5.3L heads, TFS 228/230 cam, FAST 92, bolt ons + a 10 lb bottle in the back.

I agree..black wheels look awesome if they are paired with the right body color. I've seen too many cars lose visual respect because the color of the body swallows the attention to the wheels. Your rims are an important part of the car...just think it over before making a final decision.
- Also, what i did is take a picture of your car and put it in photoshop and crop in the wheels that you want and then color them to see what looks best..

I agree with the above members, in my opinion chrome rims would compliment the NBM best.

i wish i could afford new rims! i would go with some CCW's in a heartbeat. Thats why i was hoping i could go black on my stockers and it would look good. Just afraid it wouldnt
Anybody have a picture of a berger panel painted on a nbm?

NBM / Silver- 00 SS / 71 SS Elcamino
My .02 is going with chrome wheels on a NBM. I have chrome C6 z06's and they look killer. Not too many black wheels look good on them IMO. Good luck though I know its the new "In" thing to do now.

that sucks man. my paints not the best either, i have a few chips n swirls here and there as well. i put the stripes on a few months ago and like i mentioned before, i like em!! i also have a 99 nbm 3.8, that those(chrome 10 spoke)rims came on. the z had the chrome 5 spoke, i swapped them out as soon as i got it. but now, im thinking about swapping them agian. putting the chrome 5 spoke on the z and the chrome 10 spoke on my 6er.
thanks for he compliment!!

I was opting to go with the black wheel with the chrome ridge around it. Go to tirerack.com and build your car and look at the wheels on it, they dont look bad at all. But I would agree with Midnight, too much black is kind of bland on the NBM. It all boils down to personal preference since YOU are the one who has to look at it every day.

The prevoius owner of my car was in a front end fender bender and had a shitty touch up job done so the whole front bumper is peeling clear. The back bumper is just scratched up from when I got it too. I am in the process of getting it fixed but like everyone else money is tight.
Did you do the stripes yourself? if not where and how much?
I like the chrome 10 spokes but that's just me they are different
