black vettes, help with rim choice
So I bought a 1999 black targa top vette last week and I have been considering changing the stock wheels to something different. Not sure what would look best withblack, newer chrome, aftermarket chrome or black......? Just not sure. Any advice?

Nothing looks better on black than chrome.

Chrome!! Go with Chrome.
If you have a standard C5, the Z06 stock wheels in chrome would probably be the best for performance and cost

a vette without chrome bumpers should not have chrome wheels. black on black is the only way to go.
If you are going to have shiny wheels, it should be on this.

Mine are high polished, no clear coat:
