I did not intend for this thread to be a chrome vs. black thing. I just thought the pic with the sun reflecting off the chrome wheel looked cool.

It is a cool picture but this is the Corvette Forum and everything turns into a bit of a fun debate.

I have to disagree with you.


Colors like maroon, white and Atomic Orange don't look good with black wheels though/

Mine came with chrome.


Could not wait to get black. Took me 3 months to change them out.

Well once you blacked out all the lights and added some black accents it looked great. With everything stock I preferred you car with chrome wheels and I hate chrome wheels.

This was mine when I got it.
