I don't have pics because my car is black, but black with a polished lip looks awesome on a yellow car in my opinion. See if you can find ALLKAR's yellow vette.

If I had a YELLA Vette I would put chrome wheels on it. Black would make it look like a bumble bee. You might want to consider having some powder coated YELLA. That would probably look GOOD!! Whatever you like!!

I've always been partial to chrome, but more and more I am seeing cars with black wheels on them. I am beginning to really like the look. If you are just not sure which to go with, go with the chrome - you can't go wrong that way.

Can't go wrong with chrome, but either a black or silver face with a chrome lip would also look great. But remember when considering the painted wheels that the chrome lip is mandatory.
