i have a black 1999 3.8 (soon to have an ss hood) and i was wondering if there was a decent set of rims for under 600. what would look the best as far as size, color, and style

Ebay usually has some good rims at decent prices. Size, I would say 17" or 18" wheels would look nice. Color, with the black car I would probably get some chrome wheels, or some black wheels with a polished/machined lip. Style, I don''t much care for anything but 5 spoke or 10 spoke wheels. What wheel you actually get is up to you though. Go to www.discounttire.com or www.tirerack.com
Both of those sites have a program where you can see what the wheels should look like on your car.

you wont find either the c6 or new z06 rims for under 600. Unless you come across a miracle, which is always possible. The c5 rims will be your best for cheaper vette rims. I''d go for the y2k chrome rims. 18 back and 17 front would be possible for under 300 for the rims

you can get C6 chrome vette rim for a little over 600 but that is no tires the most common size for them is 17x9.5 or 18x10.5. Either one would be plenty big and fit under your car.

yeah ive seen alot of c6 rims for around 600 or 700 but wow

can u tell me were i can get some for under 300. does any one know of site that has good prices or if some one wants to sell some ive been lookin every but no luck yet. i already have black halos and tinted windows so i think black rims might be a little much. i wanta balance it out with a chrome grill and rims
