Default Mystic Teal...

Guys im in the market for some new wheels and I have decided on ZR1's b/c I want to run 315's...but I cant decide what color? Black, Gunmetal, Silver or Polished???

Black does not look very good on green.

I'd say polished to bring out some brightness. Silver or gunmetal might make the overall color scheme of your car look dull.

Chrome or polished. This is my mystic teal car on polished ZR1s with 315s in the back. I had a set of black Z06 wheels on it that I hated. They just didn't look right. The car has been lowered since these photos were taken.

im in the same boat... mystic teal 98 LS1 here... i have been debating on TT2's with charcoal centers.. or just polished TT2's.. or going with gray painted C5 ZO6's.. its just a hard color to have painted wheels on.. but i agree.. black wheels.. yuck..

maybe black with a polished deep dish lip might look good.. anyone have pics of that??

I'm thinking about black ZR1's for mine. I think it would look badass with black wheels.
