Default Chrome or black
Hello fellow forum members, looking to buy wheels for my MRBM car and can't decide whether to go chrome or black. I really like the Z06 style wheels of all the ones I've looked at. Anyone have the nrbm with black and chrome to post so I can make a final decision? Thanks, bill van dam.

NRBM is a rather dark color, so for me, black provides too little contrast, and chrome, too much bling.

If I had that color I'd want machined/black chrome wheels.

It's a very nice look with NRBM...

Beautiful Color OP....black will make it look more sinister, brushed aluminum color more expensive...chrome is not for me too old school.
With your color you really cant go wrong!

You mean "Chrome vs. black"?

It's like debating religion or politics.

NRB is so dark I don't think black looks great with it. I prefer chrome most of the time.

Member Trekwater has NRB and silver wheels which I think look really good. Not sure that's an option in the Z06 wheels.

I asked for pictures, not lame comments. If you have no picture to show then go on to the "low battery key fob" thread.

NRB is a gorgeous color and chrome would probably be a good choice. I've been a Black color and chrome forever but have recently leaned toward the darkside.

You're right, that looks nice. Being a ZR1 doesn't hurt either I love those wheels, probably my favorite style of C6 wheel.
