I think a black halo would be a perfect match to the black Z wheels.

The blacked-out look is nice on a black car, but I much prefer the chrome wheels on red.

Here's my .02:
If you plan to go with a black halo.....go with the black wheels.
If you plan to leave it the way it is.......go with the chrome ( this is coming from someone who doesn't like chrome wheels on sports cars )

I think the spyder wheel in a silver painted finish (stock) would look real nice with that color...

Chrome looks better on your present car, but if you were to change to a black halo......

Of the two choices I'd pick the chrome wheels. I suggest you pick the wheels you like the best!

Hmm, usually I pick Black, but I am not feeling it with those, so Chrome is what I will vote.

I use the chrome for everyday and the black for drag racing, they are set up with drag radials. But the black makes the car look more stealth.

Hmmmmm. Can't decide. Can you put a black wheel up front and a chrome wheel out back and then let me see ?

Really, the black is while the chrome spiders are

Which one are you ?

Take the rear tires off the black wheels and put them on the chrome....unless they're 18's.
