Chrome wheels aren't bad...
I used to think I'd never run chrome wheels on my Vette. Just seemed a little to ostentatious for me. But I gotta tell ya, after getting a good deal on these MHT's and dropping the height a little lower, I think I've changed my mind (took these today)...
That said, I am considering having the spokes powder coated black, but I'm totally on the fence. What do you all think, black or chrome?
Thanks,
Paul

I still think painted wheels, like the stock Z06 wheels, look best.
Chrome just makes the car look more for show and less serious as a performance car.
The only thing I don't like about all black wheels is that the details of the wheels don't show up. The gray Z06 wheels show the details without the bling.

I can see where you'd be 'on-tha-fence'........because both wheels look 
on black 
Hmmm......I'd keep the chrome and if you have enough storage space get some all black wheels later for swaps.......just a thought.

I like the painted wheels too, but black looks sooo much more serious. Excellent idea! Done deal...as soon as my numbers hit. 
Thanks for all the feedback and compliments!
