Default black zr1's or polished aluminum?

So my car has had 6 pairs of rims on it and i finally got what i wanted zr1's. They are polished aluminum i like the look but miss the all black look what do you guys think should i keep them polished aluminum or powdercoat them black? i just need some input because im split on the decision. Here's some pics of before and now to compare the all black look to now with polished zr1's....and i do have lowering springs for it so yes it will be lower in the future and not looking like a 4x4

here's what it looked like with black wagon wheels


Black z06's


With zr1's

I like the all black. The wagon wheels didn't look bad.

The polished ZR1's IMO... I have black with the polished lip and been looking Speedlines nearby(no shipping) for two years.... Not fond of the all black at all....

Another vote for black with polished lip, but I like the ones without rivets.

Polished ZR1's. If your car was blue,pewter,red or white I would say black with the Polished lip

I really like the OEWheels deep dish chrome wheels they sell. I've been saving up to order some and some new tires.

I also like the black look you have going. Nice car
