Default Trying to decide which rims to get...

I have a silver '00 Z28 and I'm trying to determine which rims will look the best on my silver car. I also plan to add a Harwood cowl hood soon as well. Let me know which would look better. Also, post pics too if you guys have any of silver Camaro's with either of these rims on them.

i would go for the ZR1s. You could really pull off either color, chrome or black with a silver car. Just depends if your looking for the blinging show look or the badass mean look. I thin kthe ZR1s would look the best tho, whatever color you like best tho!

I'm basically deciding between the ZR1's, but I'm stuck between black or chrome. I can get the black ZR1's (17x9.5 & 17x11) for $500 new and the chrome ZR1's (17x9.5 & 17x11) for $625 off eBay.

BTW, anybody got any pics of a silver Camaro with black/chrome ZR1's? Thanks.

I wrestled with the same decision. It will look good either way but the chrome gets more attention.
