Well, my opinion is much different than most here, I'm more about either old school or just keeping the stock appearance but....keep in mind this is coming from an old fart that doesn't even like the large wheel look either, I prefer more tire sidewall than wheel.

I don't like the black wheels on anything, no matter what color the car is. The only time I care for black wheels,,,,when running steelies with dog dish hubcaps, and those days just don't fit well with the theme of these new cars.

Those other wheels, (don't know the name) are too busy looking for my taste. Too many spokes, hard to clean, and honestly I just can't do rivets on anything at all.

Not trying to be harsh, these wheels just aren't my taste. Ultimately it's your car though. Run what you like and enjoy

Fikse

Polished would look great!

Site called "riverview racing" has them, so does "velocity force"

Never used either site but thats what google gave me

not a fan of solid black rims. Black/chrome mix usually looks pretty good. Those iforged look SWEET on the TA.

**TmaxicanA** · 08-10-2010, 11:43 PM

COTM?!...i say yes.

Thanks, I wasn't really into all black but after i got the TA i really warmed up to them. Still nothing like the chrome though.

COTM would be pretty cool, still needs a little more work.

Between the 2 I like the iforged way better. But if you like the black, save up some money and get a set that has a polished lip. I just recently bought a set of the newer style Z06 rims, they're black w/ a polished lip. They're not installed yet, I have to wait until friday B4 I can get them installed.

Ya +1 to that. Black with polished lip is better than all black, imho.

**tatertot91** · 08-11-2010, 08:18 PM

difference with the iforged is down the line i could break em down and get them painted/powdercoated/chromed/etc. piece by piece.
I'll be ordering strano springs pretty sooon and will see if the iforged fit, i need to rent a lip roller too
