anyone seen any pictures of a Silver LTZ with Black 20 inch wheels? I am kinda wondering what black wheels would look like on my car. Maybe even with a polished lip? If anyone has seen one that would be great....thanks

Silver I'm looking for more of a Black wheel...yours look good, but i wonder what a solid black wheel would look like with the tinted windows....tire racks system is pretty sketchy at best...it gives you an idea but more often than not i think all wheels on the tire rack system look stupid.

There aren't to many wheels for our cars. Only decent company that makes wheels for our cars is Enkei. I got the LS-R, it is black with machined and polished edges and lip. My second choice was a almost all black wheel from them called the LS-5. I just thought it was too much black.

Here it is.

Might be awhile, there are very few 5x110's. I love mine though....

I'm in FL so we get no snow and are pretty flat. So the roads are pretty good where I live. No real potholes. I still watch the road really well and have had good luck. I had 19's, which are close to 20's before and had no issues. I did buy the road hazzard warranty just incase though!

The ride is a little harsher. But IMO it is better. I am used to Corvette and Camaros, cars with stiff suspensions so I love the feel of the stiffer ZR summer tires compared to the soft winter ones.

That's cool... we don't get any snow here either but california roadways are terrible in general, potholes, construction that takes forever... our tax dollars at work. i get pissed when i drive to nevada and see the nicely paved roads.

Might just stick with 18's and lower it on some eibachs.
