Once you go black you can never go back.

chrome. With black wheels, you'll never be able to see what they look like from a distance.

Black wheels seem to be the trend, so either keep 'em chrome or jump on the bandwagon.

the thing is is that i know two other people that im friends with that have chrome z06s, and one friend that has all black z06s. i think the black with chrome lip would look real good, but the individual spokes on the z06 wheel are really short, and i think it would make my wheels look real small

Stay with the chrome, black is just a trend and will fade away,....like every other trend...SPINNERS, now spinners are a last week thing, nothing kool or "wow" about them now. Chrome will continue to be the thing you really want. Thats what you wanted to hear, because you know its true.

Black looks like crap. Sure looking at a black wheel still picture up close w/ light on it looks alright. But driving around or from a distance or if its darker out... looks like a cheap toy car with black plastic wheels, or looks like you lost your hub caps hehe.
