Default rims?

i got a 2002 black z with 16 inch chrome rims.i looking into getting some 17 or 18 rims but im leaning towards the 17's because roads around here are shitty.id love to put 315's on the rear but dont wont to cut or bend the wheel wells.(if it was a 2001 maybe but not the last year ya know?)but any how either way i go what do you think looks better painted silver or chrome on a black car?i know painted rims are lighter in the same style but is the weight savings at all beneficial?i kind of like the firehawk style but the z06 or 10 spoke ss isnt bad either.help me decide please if any pics would be great!looking to do this before summer!hell if anyone got any for sale?............does anyone know any rim weights within the gm rim styles?thanks hope you can help!

Default Re: rims?

i was thinking of getting either knock off Z06 rims in silver and paint them black or get the 2002 special edition trans am rims and paint them black. Black rims look good on black camaros. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
