These are the wheels I had on the Accord. The finish started oxidizing and eventually began chipping off. Perhaps a quality issue with 5Zigen...

Everyone has their own preference, but chrome is the last connection we have to the very first vette model . I love it on my wheels.

Black wheels always look black, clean or dirty.

Chrome wheels one needs to keep clean

I like chrome rear wheels with black front wheels.

However, if you can score some hubcaps for your Vette that is the best look, imo.

Neither. Done both. Go with high polish aluminum with blackouts. Check out my photo album

I put hyper siler cray scorpians on my car.
painted silver, machined lip.

just what I wanted.
Had chrome Z06 wheels, considered CCW 505A's, but didn't want the polished lip either.

I'm not a big fan of either black or chrome...

I like Polished, Brushed, or Silver painted.

I have the best of both here. I would still vote for all black over chrome.

black out lights should be illegal in all 50 states in my opinion regardless of how good it might look, same goes for window tint

I like the right black wheels on a black car, but I don't like the blacked out look for the lights. A little dark tint looks great, just don't like the complete black out.
