I like powdercoated wheels with a hint of the car's color. I've only seen it twice, but I remember it looking good.

It depends on wether you want someone to look at your car and think

That is a customized looking car - then get some other wheels. or

That is a neat looking Corvette - then get chromed standard wheels. I like the more subtle way of haveing the car look neater than stock without screeming "customized". Same reason my screens both gill and fog lights are black not silver.

I think it can also depend on the color of your car. I have the dark silver paint, (is this the pewter or is the light silver pewter)? Anyway I have chrome wheels and I saw the same car with the silver painted wheels and I thought that it looked really bad. The 2 silvers just didn't look right together, IMHO. :flag
