Black will look pretty good on the car if you don't care for chrome. As for what rims... well if you have $$$ get some HRE's

I like the way silver camaros look with black wheels and a polished lip.

Black ZR1s or Black Z06s... either would look good I think.

After wheels, its time for the !4x4 mod with some springs.

I agree that black wheels look sweet on a silver car!

Any of the suggestions so far would look awesome. Another idea would be to get some Torq-Thust IIs or 200S from American Racing and have the spokes painted black.

If they weren't $800 a wheel, I'd suggest the FM/5's or FM/10's




For a cheaper wheel, I like the new wheel Todd posted:


Black ZR1's with 17x11 on the rear would look nice too. I have the chrome 17x11 ZR1's which I always get compliments on. A little flashy but I like them.

Just installed black center caps which looks much better than the chrome.

IMO too many people are starting to run the black Zr1's, go for something different, like said above i think some black Z06's would look good, also lower it when you do the new wheels, will make it look ten times better. Hey by the way that battery cover and fuse box covers look slick.
