Default Blacked out C6 Corvette rims

I just recently sprayed my '06 C6 Corvette rims on my '96 Camaro. All black with clear coat. I will be getting different chrome rims later.

No offense to you, but I honestly think those rims are slightly too big for your car.

They are 18 in the front and 19 in the rear. They are off a '06 Corvette. How do you mean a little too big?

Martinez28. Trust me there is absoluty nothing wrong with them rims on your car man. When I first seen them my mouth dropped and I was like man there nice. The black and the clear coat really made them sharp to. thats what I had on my 03 camaro was 18 in front, and 19 in rear. but my rims where chrome and the where foose nitrous wheels.

Thanks, I like the black on black. They are not bad at all. I get a lot of compliments daily and some people even want to buy my car. I plan to black out the tail lights soon as well. I'm not sure if I want to get front light covers or not. I like the way it is now. Maybe black out or clear glass with LEDs for front blinkers. Also do LED rear lights under dark smoked light covers. Plus I just found a mechanic in town who loves to work on fbodies, he knows what he is doing as well! He says he takes them apart in his sleep, he has a shop that does nothing but fbodies! He said he would charge me a lot less then anyone else in this area. So bolt ons plus more on the horizon. So much to do, so little time.

***EDIT***

Oh and I forgot to mention that the wheels are slightly too big for the car. The rear wheels anyways. Not sure of the exact width but stock C6 06 rear 19s are too wide for camaros. I used a spacers to fix this. Depending on the year of your vehicle you may need custom made spacers. My spacers fit fine on a 02 camaro V6. I sold that car and kept the rims and spacers. The same spacers didnt just fit on to 96. All the years of wear and or rust on the middle circle part causes it to be off by a hairs width and you will need someone to widen the center of the spacers hole diameter. I had to have a custom rims shop widen them by a very small amt for $50. You can buy the spacers online for about $50 and up.

By the way, wheels look good.
