^^^^^^ thats not my car - but my car will be black on black like that

KB93z28 02-09-2012 04:30 AM

Now that will look cool, you should try to do a red pinstripe all the way around the rim kinda like the c6 z06 centennial edition Then it would look even better IMO

ILuvPizzaTimes10 03-05-2012 07:08 PM

Looks awesomeeeee

941LE 03-05-2012 07:32 PM

ehh to much black.

SLP IROC-Z 03-05-2012 07:43 PM

i agree with 94 mike. looks good but i think it would look awesome with chrome 10 spoke SS wheels

*LS1* Queen 03-05-2012 08:33 PM

love it!!!

Formula413 03-05-2012 10:14 PM

Once you get a nice deep dark shine on the tires it will look much better

Camaro9969 03-06-2012 12:54 AM

Are those 17's? tires look like a lot of profile on them 40's? Def get some kind of accent and lower that bitch. Ive got some black headlight covers if you really want to black it out.

SLP IROC-Z 03-06-2012 12:55 AM

its the black wheels, it makes the sidewalls of the tires stand out alot more.

Think so? I don't think mine stand out to bad...perhaps the lip helps on mine???

Camaro9969 03-06-2012 12:57 AM

Ya true they gotta be 17's. these cars with stock suspension kill me i didnt know GM made a z71 package Camaro lol

*LS1* Queen 03-06-2012 01:05 AM

tire shine makes a huge difference with black wheels

Ashman333 03-06-2012 01:35 AM

Yeah their 17's,

I have tire shine but for some reason the tires have some strange white paste stuff all over them so i just got to get down and give em a good scrub then ill shine em up, just wanted to get pics up fast as i could

SLP IROC-Z 03-06-2012 01:37 AM

try going to a do it yourself car wash and spray them down with the high pressure soap and water, if that doesnt remove it try westleys.

irockidz28 03-06-2012 01:39 AM

stiff brush...i would say wire brush but i wouldnt take that chance with the new wheels

It's not the paste on the tires that makes me say ehh to it. There's just to much black with nothing to break it up.

*LS1* Queen 03-06-2012 05:46 AM

blacker the better :)
