Default Chrome or black rims on silver Z06

I'm trying to decide if I want chrome Z06 or black motorsport Z06 rims on my car. The stock silver rims just don't do anything for it. If anybody has pics of these combos, please post them.

Well I should be recieving my black rims today. They look like the stock rims, but black and have a polished lip on them. Hoping they will look badass. I will take some pictures this weekend for you. I am going to get the tires mounted this weekend.
I have seen a few silver Z06's with the chrome rims, but doesn't look right, but that is my opinion so take that with a grain of salt. That and I am going to lower the car 1 inch. So it should be a sweet setup. Pictures will be posted!!!!!

I never liked black rims on anything, they just don't look as nice as chrome.

Imagine my engine was painted all black instead of polished/chrome... would it look better than it does now? Hell no!

My $.02

All black wheels look like **** on any car IMO. A quality black or grey center with high polished fat lip looks damn good on a silver Z06 however....

Bling also looks great.

Mine are Charcoal, but same effect. I call chrome vs. black the "prancing queen vs. shove this up your a$$" argument. Cars with black wheels just look pissed off.

here is a few pictures of the rims I bought. The lighting is not that great and there are some finger prints/smudge marks on the rim. Getting them mounted tommorow.

btw I love that silve Z06 with the black racing stripes!

I had "smoked" Z06 rims on mine (machine silver) and it looked awesome. But, I've seen the silver ones as well and they look great too. I agree with 99FRC though, the dark rims give a Pi$$ed off look to it. Post pics of whatever you do.
