Default Need opinions on wheel choice for Black SS...

So I have been searching for new wheels on my car for awhile. I like the ZR1's but I have a buyer for them at around $550. I know the ZR1's are pretty nice but I want to see what else would look better. I don't want to spend too much but I saw the Torque Thrust specials and that kind of got me thinking about buying new wheels again. I narrowed it down to basically these options. Keep my ZR1's, get black ZR1's, chrome TTM, Black TTMs, or any other rims that are under $1000 would be considered. I really dont know which will look the best. Part of me wants chrome but the other side likes the stealth look. Any opinions welcome. Just looking for some advice before I purchase. Thanks!

I vote black ZR-1s. They would look sweet on your SS.

Yeah I am open to other sets as well UNDER $1K. Any suggestions would be helpful. What rims in black chrome were you thinking? I could check out Ebay too. Thanks!

I really like the Black chrome c6 rims. Hard to find and I think they only come in 18+ inches. That means I would need different tires since they are 275/17. Thinking maybe about black ZR1's(cuz they are cheap and nice) and then use the extra money to get some 315s out back, maybe some nittos or something. I'm still torn like a ****!

I think if you go with the TTM's, Anthracite would look really good. That color would be a nice contrast to the black, and you could use it as an accent color if you ever do any exterior mods.

The black TTM's with black looks okay, but to me those wheels just lose their details when they're in black.

With black I would go with either a chrome or silvr wheel. Gives a better contrast with the dark color of the car.

Site says bogarts are only for drag racing, not for street use!

Help me out! I want new rims so I can fit 315s out back! Black ZR1's are the cheapest. Like $419 at Tomz...
