Default Torq Thrust M, Black or Chrome on Black Camaro??

Hello All,

I have a black 1997 Z28. I'm getting new wheels for it this winter and can't make up my mind. I want to get the 17" Torq Thrust M wheels (17 X 10.5 rear, 17 X 9 Front), but can't decide between black spokes or all chrome.

Does anyone have pictures of a black Camaro with Black TTM?? I've searched all over the internet and have yet to see a single pic of a LT1 black Camaro with this rims.

And I know this is a matter of personal preference, but any opinions? Let's see some pics- show me what you got!

Thanks!

I got the Anthractic finish. Big word for a gray metallic finish. I love it. I wanted something a little different everyone has chrome or black.

Thanks! they both look pretty good, but black is a lot cheaper, and a bit more unique on a black car than the chrome. So I'm going with black with a machined lip. Thanks!

So I went with Black. In my opinion, I think it looks great. And as far as I can tell, this is the first documented case of black Torq Thrust Rims on a Black LT1 car. So for anyone else who's wondering what it would look like- here it is!

I used these offsets
Front: 45mm
Rear: 44mm

Had to hammer out the wheel well a little in the rear, and roll the fenders, but nothing too severe.
