Although I am a chrome guy, I think the comp grey looks really good as well.

Sometimes decisions are hard to make.

I don't think it's a slam dunk. Both rims have appealing aspects. I don't know if your car is a daily driver or where you live. But all in all if your Vette is a second car that you take out only in fare weather I'd go with the chromes. The chromes speak "fun" and leisure whereas the comp gray speak "serious" and work.

grey. i know im outnumbered here, but i def think the grey looks better. the darkness gives the entire car a meaner, much more aggressive look. gives the car attitude. just my opinion..

I have a JSB vert with the QX3 wheels also, so my vote is chrome as well. If I had the extra money though I would love a set of BBS wheels like David has. BORAXMAN
