I say you go with the Black motorsports with the polished lip. Go with the white/black theme, I guarantee you wont be disappointed. Everyone is got chrome, so you might as well try and look different. You will get many more turning heads with those wheels on your car, not that you dont already do. Because our cars are SICK!!

I say go with the chrome. I do have the black z06 motorsports and I'm getting tire of them. It's cool when you want an aggressive looking car but then you want a clean looking car and the black motorsports just don't fit the bill as well as the chrome.

Black rims with the polished lip were cool like a year ago when not many people had them, now they're more played out then the new tool album. Imports jock them to death around here.

chrome always looks nice and clean.

Chrome. People are saying chrome are played out...keep in mind there is a reason for that. Also keep in mind, just as many people are sporting a black wheel. People arent being different by getting black wheels....

As for me...Im not a huge fan of black wheels. The only black wheels I really like are painted torque thrusts and cragar replicas...although there are exceptions. JMO.

People say its overdone and people did it to be diff but hey. If it looks better to you do it. There are more chrome rims than black so whats overdone? The black gets you more attention go for it.

BTW: get the non motorsports(the ones w/o the rivets), they look way sweeter.
