Default Ohhh the day is coming...

And sooner than later....

The scourge of reputation from chrome wheels will be ending ! Oh it's coming.....

Perhaps the Heritage Center can build a shrine with a chrome wheel, Hawaiian shirt and picture of Bowzer all in one exhibit !!

I don't hate the black wheels, especially with the red stripe - but I am partial to chrome.

black wheels are BLAH. It aint cool if your CHROME dont shine. Mine came with Painted silver Z51 wheels and I just bought Chrome with Michellin Super sport A/S 3+. Cant wait to get them on

My C7 came with black, though I think chrome would look better on White. Think I'm going to put chrome on in the spring, however I've been considering something else.

Whats everyone's take on Black Chrome?

Lets see some pics with Black Chrome wheels!

Black wheels look like your hubcaps fell off.

Here’s the thing...I have two sets of chrome wheels, so my preference is clear. But with the exception of post #205, there isn’t an ugly Corvette in this 14 page thread.
