Default Need LMB black/gray wheel Pics

Ok, so I need some help here. I am going to be getting some new shoes for the vette soon. I was thinking the ZR1 replicas in black. Now for the picture part...I was thinking if I do go with the black ones, how would a lmb pin stripe look? Does anyone have this setup or know of any pictures of one? Also, please post any pics you have of any LMB vette with black OR the hyper silver/comp grey/gunmetal of any rim as I am still undecided on which wheels to go with.

For those of you that that suggest doing some searches, I have been!
Plus I'm bored at work.

Thanks for any pics you may have.

Sorry, not a fan of black (or any painted) wheels. Here's my LeMans Blue with Black Chrome Z06 wheels. Hope you find what you like.

I'm just giving an opinion, as I also have an LMB... I think on any color car Black Rims with Black wall tires is just "Too Much Black" in the wheel well.. I prefer a polished aluminum (first choice) then maybe chrome if the correct design...

IMO .. Black rims with Black tires just don't have the flash of polished aluminum... if you were to get polished ZR1 then use LMB to highlight the spokes.. just a thought .....

I went with black Motorsports... These look different while also looking like a factory wheel... I'm leaning toward some all black "Spyders" when I buy a new set of tires next Spring.


Spyders...








Here they are with a black(vinyl) lip....


Let the flaming begin... I removed the vinyl...

LMB over Black, no machining/pinstripes however.

I like the fender "flares." A nice/ less expensive way to get the "wide booty" look and add wider rear tires... Do those mount with hardware or glue/ epoxy?
