Default need your opinion on black or chrome wheels

I have a 2001 pewter NHRA trans am. I currently have gunmetal c6 z06 18s but want to go back to the 315s in the back setup i had before. I have narrowed it down to either chrome or black c6 z06 18s (love the c6 z06 look). But i can not decide between the two. Black seems like they will just look dirty all the time being so dark but it will be nice all darked out. BUT the chrome just looks REALLY clean but I dont want to be too flashy. So i need your advice on which set will look better on my car. What do you guys think? PSi posted a picture of my car with the wheels i previously had before the gunmetal z06s

Compromise, go with the black finish with the machined lip.

Do you have a picture? I kinda like the black ones with the Chrome deep dish lip. I wish it didn't have the rivets though

IMA a chrome man, but I do love the black center with polished lip lookon our cars. I think the lip is the way iI'd go if that was mine.

Thanks for all the comments keep Em comin. I think I am leaning towards the all Chrome c6 z06 deep dishes without the rivets. Keep them until I can afford some CCWs

after a long think i know what im gonna do. im gonna get the chrome ones and if they are too flashy or i just dont like them...powdercoat time! Figure I can go from chrome to black or gunmetal. I can even tape off the lip and do the black with chrome lip. Instead of getting black and cant do anything with them....im so smart lol

I got them back in 08-09, i think they came from oe wheels. I ordered them threw another company but oe wheels sent them me. As far as I know I'm the only one with black Crome like this. They look good on both cars. I like them better on my pewter car. I miss my silver car but hurricane Issiac ( last year ) decided to take her from me.
