Default Black SS: Chrome or Black Wheels?

Getting some new wheels this spring. I am going to do 18x10.5 rear and 18x9.5 fronts. I can't decide if i want to do chrome c6 z06 wheels or the black with red stripe c6 z06 wheels. Or any other suggestions? Anyone have pictures to help me decide? Heres my car

I say spend the money on getting your 10 spokes chromed. And a quality chroming, that way they don't pit and flake like the POS job GM did on them

But, if you're set on new wheels, I say get chrome.

Been really considering the chrome as of lately. Really want to find a set of oem looking 18" z06 wheels like shown above, (Not deep dish). Does OEWheels offer something like that?

I still think those stock 10 spokes look best especially on a black car.

i had chrome Z06 wheels before and i liked them at the time but i got to say that i really love the black on black much more as it makes the Camaro look more aggressive and unique.

But if your going to sport stock chrome Z06's, its best that you lower your car so they look good as the front wheel tends to be smaller than the back.

i think your stock 10 spokes look much better than chrome Z06

Since keep the stock 10 spokes and use the money for a cam swap and dyno tune wasn't an option, I say chrome. I'm not a fan of black on black, but you know what they say about opinions.....

(BTW I own a black Z with silver 10 spokes)

I think silver 10 spokes and silver 5 spoke SS/ZR1s are classy.

Either way the car looks awesome, I'd drive it!

I'm in with the majority...chrome all day over black on a black car. Polished even...

Had chrome, had polished. My new ones are something of a "dark metal" look...
