I dont really agree with ya......TooFaztZ has one of the sickest black Camaros on the site and his ZR1's are silver:


But I also like the looks of chrome ZR1's as well:

TooFaztZ's car looks killer with the silver, I'm probably going with gunmetal or black myself if not silver. Chrome is my last choice. Good luck.

Out of the two choices I say chrome, but I think black ZR1's on a black car are the way to go.

Well, the majority seem to favor chrome over silver painted on here. BUT, I'm going to say I like the silver painted better (depending upon the color of the car of course). I used to feel like chrome was the only way to go, especially since I have a black Camaro. However, almost every 4th gen Camaro I see running around has "chrome ZR1's" and personally, I'm really tired of them. Having the silver painted rims is actually somewhat unique in my opinion and I think they look damn good on a clean black Z28/SS. And TooFastZ's car proves that on this site.

If I decide not to get the polished aluminum TT2's I've been considering, I'm definitely going with the silver painted ZR1's on my black Z28...

chrome, clean looking (especially on a black car) and fairly easy to clean.

definitley go chrome, they look so good on a black car.

i think their easier to clean except for water spots. You can just wipe the dirt right off, and dont have to actually polish them.

Being the car is black chrome is the only way to go..

I've seen both and when a Black car is all detailed and then there are just silver wheels it looks to plain, with the chrome it really makes the car stand out and look beautiful.

Just my opinon tho, not everyone thinks the same.
