It's like night and day from chrome to black. Get it. Night and day. Black. Night. Day. Chrome. Lol. Ok I won't quit my day job.
Clearly, to me.. the chrome wheels look better. Black wheels to me,,make it look like the wheels are dirty.
Your car and you do with it what you want. It seems that the younger generation is into the black wheels and the older guys like me prefer the polished or chrome wheel.
Just like some men like big boobed women and some men like little boobed women. Just the way it is.
You do your thing with your Vette and I'll do my thing with my Vette.

I was going to stay out of this until I read the above. I'm 77 and years ago I thought chrome was cool. In 1960 had a 56 Buick with Skylark chrome wire wheels then in 77 had a Caprice Classic with Truespoke chrome wire wheels . Now there is no doubt, black looks much better on a Vette.
Guys the older guy like me likes black now. When I was younger in my 40's. I liked chrome. But now in my mid 50's black wheels matter.
Who know what my 60' and 70's will bring. But I'm open to suggestions.
Heck we might not even have wheels soon enough when the hoovercraft Vette comes out.
But yes to each his own.

Your red Vette to me, would look better with the factory chrome or polished wheel. Here we go again,, personal preference. Although I prefer chrome or polished, I never cared for chrome spoke wheels, just don't like the spoke look. Personal preference again?
Hey, it's all good, and congratulations to you driving and enjoying a Corvette at 77. Good for you.
Don't have either; but, I'd take black over chrome on my C6 any day...although a lot depends upon the wheel's design...chrome, to me, is cheesy on a Vette.
It's all about the lines for me, I see things as if they are constantly in motion. A gift, or a curse depending on who you ask. I subscribe to the "To each their own" theory.
You spend your money on black wheels, I spend mine on chrome but damn... these cars have all the right curves for me.

Wheel design is the most important factor chrome, or black. If your wheels have that cheap hub cap look, not even a Corvette can make them look good.

That's what I had until the 10 year old chrome started rusting under the tire. The bubbles on the lip broke the seal and they started loosing air. I decided on the gloss black C7 Z51 replicas instead of repairing the old wheels. I think the picture proves what looks best.
Two of my friends, one 73 and the other 82 have 2016 C7's with black wheels also. They both have auto transmissions but I had to have a manual.
Maybe us So Cal old guys are just younger at heart
