What color looks best?
What color looks best with black rims? I have some black ZR1 17's that I haven't put on yet and I'm going to be painting my car soon. It's black right now, but I was thinking of pewter, sunset orange metallic, silver...what do you guys think? Maybe leave it black? Thanks for any suggestions.

Black wheels only look good in my opinion if they have a polished/chrome lip , I dont think i would put blk wheels on SOM. Silver would look alright , Pewter - I dont know ? , Blk on Blk looks sweet though.White and Red also look good with black wheels.

They do have a polished lip on em. I like black on black as well, but my black paint is SO HARD to keep clean. Even when I wash it, it's dirty again as soon as the water dries. Even when I hand dry it, you can see smear marks. But it would look good. Pewter is nice too though. Damn it, I'm so torn. Thanks for the input.

I don't care if it's a factory color or aftermarket, I just want it to look good with black rims. It just happens GM made some shades that look good with them
