I really have to curtail my spending on this thing, it's getting out of hand. I really had no intention on getting new rims. Originally went in for the LG Pro Long Tube Headers and X-pipe, but was pointed to the new Matte Black rims that just came in. I couldn't help myself... These are repos of the new 2013 427 Vert' Centennial Edition wheels. What do you guys think of the red on satin black wheel combo?
Here are some crappy shots with my iphone for now. One thing is certain, the LSx motor was meant to have the headers swapped out...BIG difference in sound/power.

I was all ready to diss the rims (dislike aftermarket)....but I love them!!!!
black is the new chrome
looks great! Click some pics in daylight if you have time.
also -- I can't see from these pics but those wheels open up the hubs and rotors a lot, you might wanna consider painting the hubs (silver or black)...they're usually all cruddy looking.

That's not a bad idea about painting the hubs. I'll have to take a closer look when I get back.

Nice choice with your headers. I went with American Racing LT headers and X-pipe on mine and matched them up with a Magnaflow catback. Really nice exhaust note for my liking and I've been considering DMH cut-outs but definitely not a priority. I also have a ported TB and ported intake manifold with a Calloway intake. Those are nice mods as well if you're considering them. Have fun with it.
