I like the chrome wheels far better but I admit I'm not a fan of black wheels........ I think black wheels make the car look strange... just to much black on black with no contrast.

Unless you be chillin' wit some g's on the west siede, I would keep the black. I personally like chrome better, but those chrome wheels are ummmm how do I put this nicely...... very blingy . I am 29 not the usual age of a corvette owner, so please don't say I don't like the wheels because I am old.
Not attacking you, just giving my opinion as you so respectfully asked for.

sorry i dont like either of your wheels, black is ugly and those chrome looks like its off a esclade or something, i think deep dish or rims with 3-5" lip look better on the vette, but hey its just my oponion

Those are the ugliest chrome wheels I have seen on a Vette in a while. No offense obviously, but maybe people were looking at your chrome wheels for all the wrong reasons.
