Wheel Color Advice Needed

I have ordered a 2022 2SS in Wild Cherry Tintcoat, with a Black Metallic Center Stripe.

For wheels, I know I want to go dark. Actually, I'd love red wheels that exactly match the Wild Cherry Tintcoat, but I don't think that's going to happen.

Given a Wild Cherry Tintcoat with a Black Metallic Stripe, what colors would you be looking at in wheels? Gloss Black, Matte Black, Dark Graphite, Carbon Flash, other?

I hate that I don't have the car yet to take a closer look at, but even when I do, I'm more than likely going to have to buy wheels that I haven't seen in person anyway.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have the anthracite color from Apex, looks pretty good, especially on Garnet Red/Wild Cherry. This was during their group buy, otherwise bronze would have been even more awesome.

You may find this a bit conventional, but IMO these are the absolute best looking Camaro wheels, bar none. I have tried several and looked at hundreds already.

These are the ones I would (and did) go for.

What wheels are those? They look like MRR M017, but not as black in that pic? Thanks!

Edit: Ah. I see they also come in "graphite"

Yes, indeed.

That said, mine are OEM 1LE wheels, and be careful if you want to run MRR's replicas: their front offset is +23 (vs +20 on the OEM 1LE wheels), so if you want to run 35 aspect ratio tires in the front, you will need (small) spacers. As I mentioned before, there is hardly any clearance even at ET20, and you will clearly rub at ET23.


(BTW if you want black MRR 017 wheels with fitting PS4S tires at a good price and are willing to travel, I have a set, send me a private message. I'l throw in 3 or 5 mm spacers for free.)
