Funny you brought this thread up. We are about to paint a set of stock gto wheels for my buddy in about 10 minutes. They're going on a red gto.

All black, that way you won't ever have to clean them again.

i think yours would look sick all black like your buddy's, imo i don't like just the edges and background black...

also, throwin some tire shine on the tires makes the black wheels look ten times better

I agree if you have to do any black the one at the bottom of page 1 is what I would go with, they kinda remind me of the old 70s pontiac wheel

Dude, the way you taped those up looks pretty good, I'd go with that . The all black wheels on your friends goat look ok, but I think it looked better stock. There's just something about all black wheels that makes me think of those ricer guys who run stock steel wheels without hub caps and think they look like race cars. I don't know why my mind associates it with that, but it does, which sucks because the Corvette Grand Sport wheels used to be one of my favorite wheel designs of all time, but not any more .

I've been looking at the taped up wheel for a day and a half now, and it's really starting to grow on me a lot. I think I'm gonna do it For $40 I can't really go wrong I guess.

Thanks for the input guys. Its good to hear from both sides.

I like the all black wheels, but only on certain color cars. I think it would make my car look too much like Halloween, lol.
