Default Black Or Chrome/Polished Wheels On White TA?

What do you guys prefer? I just can't decide if i want to go black or chrome/polished. I need all of your opinions! What do you think would look better? I'm thinking about the zr1 17x9.5 17x11.

I'd say chrome unless you have black Ceta or black top . . . IMO

Black looks terrible while moving and crap from more than 20ft away, they alway's have to be perfectly clean or else it looks like dirty rims covered in brake dust.
On the other hand they look awesome close up!
I say polished is the best look!

Hmm good question man. Im not a fan of black rims, BUT I think I would go with black on a white car as long as u have black CETA bumper, and black top... otherwise there aint nothin wrong with chrome either. Tho I do not think ZR-1's look good on TA's....

way to help him decide. my vote is polished with clear, or chrome. chrome will not haze over like polished with clear, and they're ALOT easier to maintain than a raw polished wheel

Go for chrome! I LOVE clean white F-Bodies with chrome wheels, it's a perfect, clean, muscle car look. If I had a white car, I'd rather a sleek, less is more, clean appearance rather than "sick black wheels."

However I think if your getting chrome wheels, you might wanna get something besides ZR1's. Their kinda plain and I don't like the look of them, but hey it's your car. Maybe Z06's

Could you recommend any wheels under the price of 800?? Kinda have a tighter budget I really want them to be wide in the back.

Chrome or polished, but you can pull off the black wheels with the right black accents. Other than like expensive Fikse or CCW's I personally think some polished stock 98-00 WS6 wheels look best on a white T/A.

And other wheels that would look good (I love ZR1's on Camaros, but not so much T/A's) would be C5 Z06's, although everyone has them or some C6 wheels. Look at colby72olds, a few posts up and you can see his, they look good on a T/A.

Black wheels make a clean car look dirty no matter what color it is IMHO. No black wheels, period, on any car, of any color.


I have some C5 ZO6's with new BFG's for sale in the for sale section.
