I'm very old 61.9. I like chrome. A lot. Not to pick on akapounder, but look at his picture. I cannot see ANY of the details of the wheel. Like I said, I like chrome. Please continue.

Sorry jumpinjer I agree with you also I was typing at same time as you just slower
And the colored tire lettering on either wheel is not going to look good on a Vette
For the record I like polished aluminum alloy better than chrome it is a subtle difference but I think chrome can sometimes look cheap.

I disagree, I think black looks great on cars. I just put black concave wheels on my artic white.with the glass roof being black I just think it flows better. Adding chrome or whatever other color adds to many different colors and doesn't flow. Just my two cents.

I'm 56 and hate Chrome wheels on just about anything. Alloy or dark greys to Black. Especially on the Sports Cars....These are not a pimp's caddy. Just my opinion though, to each their own.

Esser, I love the looks of your ride, but the black wheels... what are they? Take a look at your pic. They could be painted wagon wheels and they'd look almost the same. In certain light, black wheels pick up some definition and look better (like the OP's yellow vette - the black wheels are in bright light and you can make out how they look) but much of the time the black is just that. No definition. I fully respect your wishes and will fight on your side always to defend your choice. Just not for me.
