Default Chrome or Silver ZR1s?

Black 2000 SS. Opinions wanted. Personally, I like the OE silver color, but the chrome looks so nice on black cars.....

Chrome. But then again, go with what you like best.

I actually do like the silver(painted?) color also. But it doesn't look as good on black as lets say on on a silver/red car. Go for the bling look.

CHROME FTW, silver just looks bad on ZR1's they tend to look unfinished. Gunmetal would also look really good

chrome is NOT easier to clean. its easier than polished wheels, but silver wheels are just as easy to clean cuz they are painted and clear coated. u dont have to worry about spots on silver, and with chrome u have to wipe them spotless. im not saying chrome is hard, cuz its a lot easier than polished, but painted is just as easy to keep clean and spots wont make them look bad.
