I don't know what to go with . I am getting 17x11 Zr1's and i can't decide on a finish I need your input! Here's a couple pics of my car with black Zr1's and salad shooters.

Those look pretty nice. No damage to them at all? What would you take without the rear tires, cause i am getting hoosier drag radials. And is the camaro letterin painted on or is that a vynil?

I'd go polished. To me they just look more "classy" then chrome does. Although they are harder to clean. So chrome may be better if it sits outside or something.

I'm sure alot of people would tend to disagree with me here but in my opinion, black wheels are way overdone. I'm just tired of seeing them on everything. Plus they just don't set the car off like a nice chrome/polished wheel would.

Overall I'd go polished if you don't mind maintenance.
