wow thats a hard call...i think both chrome and gunmetal would look good, i would probably gunmetal first and if you don't like it then chrome them......

No offense, but I've never been a big fan of those wheels. If the only option is to keep them, I'd say go chrome.

I'm gonna say chrome. I've had 3 sets of Y2k's (1 chrome, 2 polished) and the chrome ones look so much better than the polished ones. I just took a polished set off my vette and put a perfect set of polished ones on and they don't even come close to looking as good as the chrome ones on my TA.

That is one of the nicest LT1's I think I've ever seen. Gunmetal would look good I think.
