Default What wheels look the best on Navy Metallic? (BLK ZR1)
I'm looking for wheels, and the best offer I'd had so far was black ZR1s with a polished lip. What would look good and be affordable? (<$750 used, with 275 tires)

Does anyone have black ZR1 wheels on a NMB T/A?

Photoshop if no one has them.

I think it looks good with black, white, pewter, or red.

But I dunno about Navy.

We'll see.

At the least I'll drive em and sell em in a year or two.

I would go with polished wheels for NBM. The black and the blue kind of clash imo. But someone may chime in with pics and prove me wrong.

It's all personal preference......there is no "best". I personally think chrome or polished looks better than black on NBM.

Nice ride. Are those gunmetal TTIIs or just dark in the pic?

With a dark color like NBM, I would suggest getting chrome or polished, to contrast with your already dark car. Anthracite or Gunmetal would look good as well, because they are still not as dark as Black. Black looks good with NBM, but it just kind of blends in IMO.

+1. Chrome or highly polished. But I'm surprised at how good the graphite looks.

LOL you have an ATM in your garage. Now that is the kind of garage that I need. Everytime I need more parts I would just check in to the old trusty garage

I prefer chrome, but what matters is what -YOU- like the best, not what others like....

here are pics of my car with my various chrome rims:

i like the TTII's with painted spokes like was posted, very clean, rich look. IMO Black ZR1's would look like crap. too much clash.
