Default Should I buy chrome or black wheels.

Ok I have a black 2000 SS with chrome ZR1s 17x9.5. Should I buy two chrome 17x11 ZR1s or buy 4 black ZR1s. Really like them both and can't decide. Any advice would be appreciated.

just get the 2 rear, i have had black wheels on a black car before and it got very old to me very fast, when i took off the black rims for polished i kicked myself for ever putting on black in the first place, just my opinion

yeah ,the only black wheels i really like are the weld rts , i think those look killer, but op i would just get the 11 rears and lower it ,im not crazy about the all black look, unless it some custom highend wheel i just think polished is a way better move

i think chrome looks best on black vehicles, but they dont really do anything for me anymore. So of the two i'd go with black, maybe with a machined or red lip.

but if it was me, i love the look of clean silver wheels, like the 10spokes. even polished look good.

Polished or chromed wheel with powder coated spokes.
No rivets...

It would be too hard to make the call without seeing the color of the car and how it sits. I would still probably lean towards polished myself, but since you have chrome, go with chrome

I hate chrome. Polished looks so much better, but I will eventually powdercoat my polished racestars black.
