Default What rim looks better on a NBM Camaro?

Ok I have a NBM SS and I need new rims. The C5 y2k's(chrome) aren't doing it 4 me. I want to go w/ black C5 Z06 w/a polish lip or just go chrome. What looks better in your opinion. I love black rims but it may or may not look good w/NBM. I might just widened the rear y2k's to 11' and paint them glossy black w/a polished lip???. Any suggestions? Thanx!

A buddy took the chrome ZR1's (had 11's on the rear) off and put on some black Zo6 motorsprt rims with polished lips...

I hated him after he did that. It was so hot before and now it looks dorky in my opinion. Not really into black rims on anything, especially not a NBM Camaro.

Chrome looks nice on NBM. Two dark colors with little contrast looks blah

I think the new Anthracite TTM's looks good on an NBM along with the chrome C6 wheel.

Anthracite TTM's:

Chrome C6 wheels:

I'm torn between the two, but leaning towards the C6.

ugh PLEASE don't do black.

IMO Y2k's will look better than C5 Z06's, they're just too overdone. C6 Z06's on the other hand....

I went with stock Z06 rims because they are lighter (I have the magnessium version) but I think they look good:

Yup. They did it while the wife and I were watching a movie... They were 3M taped on...

The next ones will be bolted on or have and electrical charge going to them, seriously.

I can't find an emblem price on there... How much do they sell for? I usually find for around $35 a piece...
