Get the ones you like the most, otherwise you'll never be satisfied. That being said, we are never truly satisfied are we?

Black Z Wheel w/ No RIVETS!!! Unless you like cleaning around those little guys, I know I didn't. Plus the rivets are for show anyways. But get what ever you like the most. It's a great looking wheel for the money.

Either chrome or black would look good. Saying that, here is my 98 Coupe when I got it;



and now with Z06 non M0rotsports wheels (no rivets);



MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY, that's what is really all about. What ever you want, like, think would look good and can afford is the right choice. We all dance to a different drummer.

I went CHROME on mine before I went BLACK and regretted not doing what I really wanted to do.

Think hard, and do exactly what YOU want to do.
