I'm old school and love chrome and don't really care what others think about it. In fact, I hate the looks of all black wheels and to be frank, I just don't get this carbon fiber look either! I've seen many corvettes I would have considered purchasing if not for the all black wheels and carbon fiber interior mods....
All the black stuff hung on most of the C7's is a real downer for me. It was only after I saw a few without the black wheels and black roof that I began to realize that they just might work for me.

Chrome will never disappoint you on any color......I'm the big kahuna of the Chrome Dinosaurs Club......our job is to educate against the use of all black wheels.....
........and we are in sync with joehenry and agree that if you had black wheels back in the day....means you could not afford chrome.....we also like reversed chrome wheels with baby moons on them......

Im younger and most of my car friends went black rims. But something about the right chrome rim 
. I think its just something different to be different right now.
I can honestly say I have seen some damn ugly black rims on corvettes, but I have not seen any ugly chrome rims. Even those damn c5 wagon wheels didn't look that bad chromed.
Certain polished/chromed black rims do look awesome though, especially on black or blue cars.

I'm not sure about the black wheels though, since with most of the photos you see of guys showing their cars off with them, it's hard to actually see the wheels. I do think they would be great for track wheels. I guess I'm more taken with the un-polished aluminum look personally. Plus, there don't seem to be many chrome wheels on race cars.

Chrome in the right amount look fantastic on any car. Black wheels on black tires (all we had back in the day) belong on the spare...
The no contrast look fails in most cases...well like others say, if you're 12 you like it if you are dirt you don't.
el cromo for meeeeeeee
