I know a guy around here who just put Chrome z06 wheels on his Silver T/A, it looks damn good. I run Chrome ZR1 wheels on my Pewter SS and have gotten many compliments for how they look on the car.... I voted other.

if you go with black they need to have a polished lip or they look dirty
my 2 cents
but you cant go wrong all of your choices look good

I vote for the TT2s on the second pic. They look the best but have fun polishing them a lot.

Black z06 rims without the rivets would look amazing, also the chrome z06's would too.

Looking at the two you've said you narrowed it town to, I totally dislike the ZR1's on T/A's, so TT2 between those.

i know i said i had it down to two choices(black zr1's & tt2's)but this is going to be tougher than i thought and some people have made some good suggestions. so i am considering these...

anyone got pics of any of these on their silver t/a's. i did a search and found these rims mostly on camaros.
thanks, jeff

I'm biased, but I think black z06's or c6's would look awesome

No hard and fast rules but IMHO dark cars look best with chrome or other bright wheels and bright cars look good with black or dark wheels. But..... I have seen some good examples of the other way around looking good as well. So..... Go with what looks best to you, after all its your money and you are the only person that has to be happy with the pick, well the better half better like them as well!
