chrome/polished rims on a white camaro

I own a white camaro convertible and probably this next winter I will be getting some new rims for the car. I want something polished or chrome, and leaning toward ttII's, but I want to see some pics first. Please post pics of your guy's rims on white camaros. THanks.

I dont have any pics, but I have never seen a color that chrome or polished wheels didnt look good on as long as the paint on the car is in good shape and the owner keeps it waxed. I have a red camaro with 16 inch chrome IROC rims and I get so many compliments on the car becasue the chrome rims help catch people's eye when im driving. People have even pulled into the gas station while im getting gas just to say that they like them. I would definitely get some polished or chrome wheels. Next to a good waxed paint job, i think this is the best mod that you can do for appearance. I think the TT II's are an awesome wheel and would look great on a white vert. Get them in 17's.

LBSZ28BLOWN, your pic didn't show, but i have seen your sweet car before (with the stock rims though) my car looks basically like yours, just different interior (i'm working on phasing out the red) and i have a cowl hood. Of course, mine is an rs, so even stock your car would be better, and yours is far from stock.

I have polished IROC-Z wheels on my white IROC-Z. They really didn't stand out, so I experimented by putting them on my red Z28 convertible. What a difference!! On a white car, they are not noticeable. But on red...... that's a different story. Today, the polished rims are permanently mounted on my red convertible

I went to your site and saw the car....it looks really good, i like those rims alot, but are they polished? I see polished rims that look normal and then i see polished rims that look like chrome. I want some that look more like chrome. Anyone wanna use photo shop to put some tt2's on lbsz28blown's camaro. My car looks just like his (except i have a cowl hood). What kind of rims does chuck everly have on his car, i think i remember seeing some nice rims on his car.

I used to have 15" Cragar centerline-style rims on my black car until I got some 17s. The 15s looked badass on the black car, but the other day just for kicks I put them on my convertable to see how they looked. They looked like *** because the convertable is blue with gold gfx. So my opinion is chrome/polished rims don't look as great on a two-tone car.
