Default Help me choose!

I can't decide between:
-Chrome ZR1's
-Black ZR1's (both 17x9.5-front- 17x11-rear-)
-Chrome ZO6's (17x9.5-front- 18x10.5-rear-)

-On the ZR1's I would go with a 315 rear tire, and on the ZO6's I would go with a 295. All would be 275's up front.


This will be on a red Z28, soon to have a prokit. Help me choose, and right now I'm leaning more towards the Black ZR1's and getting some dark tint, and possibly black Hockey stripes. (I know these wheels are "played" out but I like them.)

Thanks
(I'll try and get pics of my car up here soon)

I think the chrome Z06's would look hot. Black wheels on a red car...I dont know. I think it would be too dark. Ive seen black ZR1's on a white car and it looked good.
The chrome ZR1's would de my 2nd choice, if you want the simple clean look.
