I love the look of both so understand why it's a hard decision. I wasn't fond of the Cray ZR1 type (gun metal gray with chrome outer ring) that where on mine when I bought it, but they've since grown on me and I love them now. Just go with your gut and the look you want to achieve.

Seriously dude?

You don't need to make a new thread to ask the same question. You're going to get the same responses in both. Half the people on here like black wheels. The other half like chrome wheels.

While you're at it, why not make a third thread and put a poll in it and see which one wins!

Who cares what their opinion is. Buy what you want and like.

If it were my car, I'd put black or grey ZR1 wheels on it...those have always caught my eye on this color of car for some reason.

As good as the ZR1s look, after dealing w/ 8 spoke on my '08 first thought was cleaning.

Black chrome OTOH are outstanding enough I'd easily get over cleaning.

A bit off topic here but I saw a white C7 the other day with white custom wheels. Man, did that thing look sweet. Couldn't get a pic because I was driving.

Default Here is a pic of my C6 with C7 replica wheels.

Any opinions and pictures of black chrome in any wheel style and on any color Vette would be greatly appreciated. Shoot me a link to a vendor while you're at it!
Also adding that I will be tinting tails and markers soon, as well as having the halo and possibly the mirrors painted black. Not sure if that will clash with the bling of the black chrome.
