Default Chrome,Black, or GunMetal???

really wantin to do some ZR-1 wheels on my 35th Anniversary ed. SS(red).
17x9.5 and 17x11 with some good rubber.

what finish would look the best> chrome--black--gunmetal???

probably end up with Nitto tires all the way around but would rather have BFG(too expensive)

what do yall think??? the ZR-1 or the Z-06 wheels???

Black will look good and you could possibly pull off gunmetal.

hey guys, thanks for the opinion, keep em comin!!!

probably gonna end up goin with chrome since its easy to keep clean and i like chrome on red cars.

i know the black would look good but it seems like the black on my anniversary wheels has a dull finish to it just from regular cleanin.
they only have 16k miles on them so you know...

Actually, gunmetal Z06s look like sex on a 35th. I've seen it with my own two eyes.
