Im thinking about putting a set of chrome zr1's on and ditching the black ones..Possibly putting an 17x11" on the rear..I miss my 315's but I dont think I like the black anymore.





Heres a pic with the old 315's

I'd say keep the black.

I bet some black chrome wheels would look pretty sick on your car too...
