Default Opinion on C6 wheels

I have a black 02 camaro ss. I am looking at the 5 spoke c6 wheels. I am looking at either blacked out or chrome. The question is will the black on black be too much. Calipers will be painted red before the install. I hoping that will set them off good with the red ss badges. As for the chrome I think they will look pretty good regardless. Just wanted to get some opinions and see if anyone can point out something I havent thought of. Wheels are going to be 17x9.5 up front and 18x9.5 out back.

Thanks guys

i dont know man , i have had a few blacked out rides and honest the look just got old fast, every time i had a set of all black wheels and when i went back to a polished wheel i always thought it looked way better with polished wheels,its up to you but imo if there is no bling factor it better be a really killer looking wheel , and i just think with the c6 oe wheels there just ok,again its up to you man, oe makes great cheap wheels, i vote polished or chrome .

If you don't go with the black, I'm selling my Polished DD C5's. 17x9.5 Almost perfect condition other then a very minor ding on 1 wheel. I like the black idea myself like the others have said.

i would go with the chrome. I have a black 01 z28 and the chrome just brings out the black of the car and the tinted windows. The chrome looks a lot cleaner.

thanks for all the input. I still havent made up my mind. The chrome sets it off well, but the black will probably look mean as hell too
