Stay with your chrome. It looks better and it ties in with the chrome formula overlay. In my opinion black looks good on a race cars, steel wheels, or on little imports who want to look like a race car.

Those ZR1s might actually work.

Not a big fan. Chrome is what you need for sure.

Not a fan of all black either. Stay with the chrome or at the very least get ZO6's with a chrome lip or something. But hey, it's your car, you do what you want.

you need contrast. the polished lip on the black rims isn't enough IMO.

Default Go for it!

I have a 2k2 ws6 and all I get is compliments with either the zr1's or ceta wheels. I got a chrome chrome with a black firehawk logo on my center caps and chrome lug nuts for my zr1's, try that! When you clean them they look clean and glossy.
Beleive me when I say that they will stand out. In no shape or form is it a ricer look trust me! Just get some 17 by 11 in the rear and you will have the true muscular look.
By the way that pic you have does not do them justice.

Then again the pic I have in my sig isnt all that either.

Here is the pic i used to decide whether or not to get black rims. The pic is a chop of my car with black ZR-1's. Now i have CETA rims.
