Wow! I love the E's....for my rig. lol Thanks man! I feel like I owe you a finders fee..LOL

Realy IMHO, do what you want, I had black 5 stars on my ols Vette and people just killed me for it; but I loved it everytime I walked up to it. The gold is to flashy for me, but that's my taste not yours. I do understand at this point that you are only asking opions....so here is mine....love the black on red! Have a great weekend! Jer

So if you want to be different, and stand out a little bit from the norm, do the gold theme.
^^Agreed I love the F/E headlights on the VR SS. Arghh decisions, decisions! Now silly question, our lugnut dimensions are 5 x 110 right?

You're talking about the bolt pattern, right? If so then yeah, it's 5X110

And IMHO, the gold on red can only be pulled off on certain cars. I think it looks great on yours

I agree with this... I think the gold would look sharp on the VR, and LOVE the OZ wheels!

Your car, your choice.
Gold isn't for me, but I think the VR looks pretty sharp with gold.
on tirerack you can look at the gold OZ Alleggerita's on the HHR

Hey, your nickle, your ride, your choice. Get anyone you want.
I'm sure you've noticed but....."opinions are like A--holes, everybody has one". If your partial to gold, when do gold.
Customizing[the trade I'm in], there is no set rules, and you have to think outside the box, and personalize your ride, to be different than anyone else.
Case in point: This is the wheel I will probably be using on my 09 Black SS, and hold on....it will be painted Orange[to match the Orange, with Black fade racing stripe I'll be using.[Drag wheel/Dr 34], around $140.00 ea.

Wheels can be painted any color you like, so go for it. Be different and unique. Lots of Black wheels out there already.
In my opnion[oh no!], I think Gold would look sharp on a Red SS. "Moon"

Funny you should suggest that, I have a 68 Impala with Rallys and was thinking it would be awesome, unfortunately they are not going to fit.

As of right now, my searches are finding limited 19" rims in gold which is what I'm leaning towards doing even w/ the eventual Fall Edition h/l (you're look's safe HHRSSouth lol). The tire Rack only has the ASA 5 star pattern in 19", sooo I'm still searching. Any references for decent online wheels stores? Wheels Boutique turned up zilch that I liked... also Moon, the thought of powdercoating a set in gold has crossed my mind as well.

Later
