Nothing looks as good as chrome, it just depends on which style you like best.

Chrome looks great. I saw a TA recently with the chrome thin spoke C5 wheels and it looked <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

But nothing beats a high end forged modular wheel such as Fikse and HRE! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I saw Chrome Z06 wheels on a white T/A at the Thunder Shootout and I like that better. They looked sweet!!

E-mail with a pic of your car and I can photoshop whatever kind of wheel you want on there.

I always tell it to white F-bod owners...white powdercoated ZR1 wheels. Looks even better on Ponchos. There's nothin like a white SS style rim (even better if 11" in the rear) on a white f-bod. Sorry i don't have any pics...but if i ever own a white f-body, which i won't...that'd be the first thing i do. I've seen some LT1 Firehawks with this setup that was amazing.

I'm with Tullis on this one. I say get silver ZR1s and then take them to get powdercoated white. It should be cheaper that way right?
