Chrome is pure bling. Adds way too much weight, and if its unsrpung, what's the point? Pretty or fast? It is a Vette, right?

I think that red and black look awesome together. I didn't could not however get the boss to agree on the black wheels. I went with the machine faced Z06 wheels with black painted inside.

I voted black, although I wouldn't mind some polished wheels, but I don't want chrome



With tail light balckouts


Although there is some chrome in the household

I must say they do clean up nice
