    hey man defiantly black wheels on a nitrate car looks tough and wicked.
    But I'm not a fan of the wheels thats just my honest opinion. But each to their own dude. But yer go the black

    I really don't know what I want for wheels its been a year long dilemma.. I like one style then like another go back to one and so on and so forth, atm I still like the 2010 camaro rims.. but to get them here.. i dunno never thought rim selection would be this painful in choosing.. But thanks for your honest input

    well it will look different.
    i havnt seen a nitrate with black wheels.
    Not my cup of tea but each to their own. i like the Super sports 20's but they are standard and boring.

    can someone to a photoshop of black wheels on nitrate for us please.

    Black is Better. i have silver on mine. looks fine even though heaps have supersports and will be upgrading mine next year to pentagons in gun metal grey as i am upgrading my brakes. think about this too. do you plan to upgrade your brakes will the rims your thinking of putting on handle bigger brakes. just a thought nothing worse when you buy great rims and find out later you want nicer brakes but your rims are not able to hold them. i will be dropping on pentagons onto mine.
    am dropping these onto mine will be ordering them from GSL Rallysport a sponsor on here

    I dont think at this point I would be looking to get different brakes. I thought about the pentagons but in silver, gun metal I have thought about from time to time but again I have had phases that I have gone in and out repeatedly on what I want. I do want genuine rims from holden yet it will take that little bit longer to get with pricing and such. As a personal preference I want to stay away from replicas even though some people do like them but for me I rather get the real versions that's just my 0.02c on that. Also trying to determine if the camaro rims will suit the ve I have been told yes and no and from what I can understand it all comes down to what type of tyre that will be used and that rolling the guards is a must.

    I think you should get something out of the box - Genuine wheels are nice and all - but they're everywhere. Grab something different.

    I think your right tins, plus going to the tyre factory today isnt going to help my cause.. Ran over a nail on the surface should be able to get a inner tube replacement. I will enquire about the zumbas.

    So went to tyre factory, asked the guy about the zumbos... guy who he called for them couldnt give a straight answer if he could get them when they would be in stock to the point where he said over the phone that he had two black and two silver and that he would give me these and to get the silver painted over to which the ttf guy just hung up on him in disgust. So back to square one for me

    The black ones are nice as.

    Don't get Pentagons or Advanti Tourers, they look as gay as aids (and even that is giving them credit). One of the worst wheel designs out. Someone on the forum has a set of Tourers in black with the face painted yellow and it made me want to gouge my eyes out when I saw them (sorry to whoever that is).

    i paid $2300 for mine, but i didnt shop around, im sure i could have got mine cheaper.

    1900 seems like a reasonable price for 20s
