Need help...Chrome or Black !
Lookin to get some new wheels soon and was thinking about gettin some black ones. I searched around on the forum, but didnt see alot of red vettes with black wheels. So I thought Id get some opinions from fellow vette owners.
Stay with Chrome or go Black.
I really like the black ZO6 non-riveted
So, what do you think ? ? Would the black be too much ? ?

I'd stay with Chrome, but I am not partial to black wheels..
Do you have a pic of the black ZO6 wheels? It might change my mind.

click the picture in my sig to visit my webpage for more full size pics. If i had to do it again, the only thing I would change would be to use a 275/35-18 front, which will be done very soon.

I think black accents on a red vette is one of the hottest looking vettes out there. Go for the black rims! Just make sure you get 'em with a poliched lip.

Black with the polished lip would look very good on red.

IMHO chrome is the only choice...but it's your car and what hits your hot button that counts
