Red WS6... Chrome or Black wheels? I've got the stock 17" chrome WS6 5-spoke wheels. They look awesome, don't get me wrong. I'm going back and forth whether I should keep them or go with something else. When I think of the "go with something else" idea, then I'm torn whether to go with chrome or black. I've looked through many threads at other members Red firebirds and T/As to get a feel for what looks good. Sometimes I like the chrome better, sometimes I like the black. I'm afraid that I'll pull the trigger, buy a set, then get tired of them after a bit and wish I went another route... This however is an expensive decision.
FWIW, there was a site I checked out one time, but I can't remember the name to save my life... I think it was Torx(?) Anyone know the site? They had a set that was awesome... I'll try to find it and post a pic.
Feel free to post pics to help my cause

chrome always looks good, but i think black can also look decent too. My car has TT2s but i thought i would put my roommates black ZR1s on to see what it would look like

I have Black TTMs on my Red WS6. Ill snap a couple pics tomorrow in the daylight for you. Im REALLY happy with how they turned out...and I got the set (17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear) for $600 shipped to me brand new.
Ive often wondered how chrome would look but I like the Red/Black look.

Yeah, I do think chrome POPS a bit more on a Red car. Do you all think something with a skinny 5-spoke looks better than say something with a bunch of "webbing", for lack of a better description, in the middle of the wheel? I really like something a bit more thicker than the stoke wheel, I think it gives it more of a MUSCLE car look.

I'm going black ones. I plan on getting some stock C6 wheels and powder coating them flat black. Use you're stockers during the winter, that's what I'm going to do. Then you have both! lol.
