Depends on the car they are going on.

Sorry, I assumed the links were to just the rims for some reason

After looking at the pictures I like the black ones better.

I think on your car silver is going to look better. I think very few cars can get away with black rims and make it look right. I wish I could say what that set of criteria are but, alas
I think others here will agree, black only seems to work in certain circumstances. I've seen 80s Porsche 911 Turbos with black wheels that look absolutely sweet, and nissan sentras with black wheels that make me want to puke. There are few 4th gens with blacks wheels which work, but somehow just think they are the exception rather than the rule. I wonder what those F-bods have in common that can pull it off?

i voted for the black rims, imo they're more unique since a lot of people have the plain silver zr1s and i've never seen black zr1s in person.

black ones would look MUCH better on a pewter car, especially with your black stripes. I like the black ones on every color but navy blue.

Black ZR1s look better. Like Tony said, they go well with your stripes.

WILWAXU, is it just me or does your car look like it is lifted in the 1st pic because of how the wheel is turned? 2nd pic is awesome, though
