We Gone, you're entitled to your opinion, even if
it doesn't match mine , but I'd go for chrome.
However, it's your car..................

I actually like both but I think the chrome draws your eye to the wheel depth and matches the caliper.

Chrome.

Simple contrast and doesn't make it look like a cop car wheels. Could always spring for some nice VMS stainless lugs to really set it off.

I'm for the chrome. Definitely more interesting to look at, and that's how my charger is.

Default To each His Own, But I Prefer Black!

I prefer the black lug nuts with your black rims.
I prefer the look of stock Saw Blades but I do not like the "Silver Orange Peel" look on the interior of the blades so I had the barrels and interior blades redone in Gloss Black at Wheels America in Houston, Texas.
