Question what should I get?

My time for new rims has come my three choices are black chrome C5 Z06, black w/ polished lip C5Z06, flat black C5 Z06.

the first two i'm going to need to buy because I couldnt find a place that will make my stock rims black chrome or black w/ lip.
BTW if there are other rims that are stock size post pics.
the car is for the one in sig.
-thanks

Oh yeah... If anyone could find out where they sell these rims in stock size because i have only found them in 18 or 19 its frustrating

Here's a thought! Paint your stock Z06 Wheels black with a clear coat....It was so cheap and it looks fine.... smoke the taillights and the black will match up nicely.

If you have a yellow car with black rims it will look like a rotten banana.

I like the blacked out rims personally, and I like the all black more than the black/polished lip. But that's just me, I think it's the only way I'd like the yellow. Second choice would be loud, bright, shiny chrome.

black with polished lip, and then chrome. If you don't want to go real shiney then get a set of the polished commerative edition Z06 rims.
