Default POLL: Bronze or Black wheels on black C6

Okay, some of you guys may have seen my other thread about bronze wheels, but I can't decide between gloss black or dark matt bronze wheels for my black C6...below is a pic of a black Camaro with the exact color of bronze I want (so you can see how the colors work together) and another pic of a forum member's vette with black wheels....which one do you think looks better?

It's really what makes you happy...but one more thought is that the bronze looks sortta like a silver with a ton of brake dust. But that is just my going off your pic, and it probably looks much better in person.

I like the bronze. You gotta remember most of the members here are a little older so they enjoy the chrome wheels.

Bronze is very nice on black. What we all know is that chrome does not belong on a sports car

IMO - Bronze wheels on a black Vette will look great & very unique. From a distance, black wheels blend in with the tires.

these look great in bronze on a black car. http://www.modbargains.com/tsw-nurbu...ls-audi-vw.htm Check them out on that audi. I plan on getting them for my black C6 when the stock runflats die....

I have a black C6 and in most circumstances I don't think the all black looks good. You need some contrast or you don't see any details. I would vote neither but went with bronze since it's not black.

Can't go wrong with either choice...but that matte bronze finish would look good.

I think the bronze would be cool -- a bit of contrast but still very aggressive looking...... and different from the crowd.
