Please don't do black. Imo polished or chrome is your best bet.

Hard to say. I love black wheels, BUT they need to be on certain colors IMO. Black wheels look awesome on red, black, white, silver, orange and a few other colors. Black wheels look good on lighter blues, like the C5 GS had. If you ask me NBM needs more of a gunmetal, or dark grey. This is what I'm leaning towards now. Although Chrome does look good on NBM. I'm on the fence, I'm either doing dark grey C5 ZO6 wheels, or getting 17x11 chrome ZR1's for the rear.

Heres mine.






I love them. Just my two cents but black wheels look sweet on NBM.

Gunmetal or Silver looks good on NBM. I like my silver TTM's.

It looks OK, but there are other color combos that look better.

The wheels in the above pics are for sale, if you're interested.

I photoshopped some black wheels on my NBM Bird out of boredom. I honestly wasn't too impressed. I hate bling, but there might be no other choice for NBM. The only other option that I thought might look good is the OEM ZO6 Grey-ish wheels.

There's also the brushed center option:


Less "bling" than chrome and less upkeep than polished. Not that I'm biased...
