Default Wheel decision...HELP

I really need opinions on wheels for a black 92. I want either ZR-1 style or Y2k Thin spokes. Which looks best?

Next question is polished or chrome?
I have chrome sawblades right now, and love the chrome. I just question it's durability. If I could get chrome that would last, there would be no question.

Polished I don't think would look quite as good, but at least they will last longer.

Please post pictures of your C4s with Y2ks or A Molds if you have them, or send them to shribe33@msn.com (especially if your C4 is black).

Thanks!

With a Black car.....I love the look of black rims. Very sinister. But chrome also looks sweet

I will caution you against chrome again... but it does have that "bling" that sets off any car. I'd go with the Y2K's since the ZR1's are over done. I will also mention that there is a set of black Z06 wheels in the parts section that would look badass!!!!

Mine are polished. Chrome is too much for me, and even the polished is pushing it sometimes when I'm in a wierd mood. If I had it to do over again, I'd take a harder look at the Z06 style.

If you really like the Bling, go with chrome. I have a polo green 92 and went with polished and with a little rubbing, they look just like chrome, but without the rust problem that can happen. Check my sig.

Thanks guys. Looks like almost any way I went would have looked good. I still love the Y2K's, but it's gotta be the ZR1 Chromes.

Don't know why this was such a tough decision, but I just wanted to do it right while I had the chance.
