So I'm kind of getting tired of the Firehawk wheel in chrome I want something different. I want a little bigger of a wheel that is subtle and fits the car and my budget. I know the title says black chrome C6, but I've since changed my mind after reading about the problems of black chrome. So I've changed my mind to chrome C6. What does everyone else think? Do you have any other options that has not been played out and will fit the look of my car. I know its ultimately my decision but I wanted to get some more opinions. Here are some pics for comparison.

Chrome Firehawks currently on my car

depending what your "budget" is......ccw wheels look killer on birds IMO and i once looked into the black chrome seems theres a problem with the finish getting scuffs really easy, do a search you will find some more info on that, no need to put money into wheels you might have to replace after a month......

Okay guys I will be selling the firehawk rims once I make an informed decision. I just talked with tomzwheels and they said that the black chrome is not that durable and that I should avoid this as it will be my daily driver and the chrome appears slightly wavy. Nice hawk cajun I like the wheels on there it gives the car more attitude.

I love the look of black chrome its undeniably the coolest finish on wheels to date. But they mark very easy so unless you are **** and know you wont mess them up at a car wash or something, and know where you take them to get mounted and tire work done are good they may not be the best. If you are **** its a great great look.

My buddy has the black chrome C6's on his red C6. They are OK. I would keep the firehawk wheels. Chrome looks better on the darker blue color.

IMHO here are the issues w/OE Chrome Firehawk wheels:
*Backside chrome pits/flakes likely from break dust components...(My theory since I have had other A/E chrome rims that did the same thing)
*Rivet Style center caps break and can't be found to replace (no longer made) and once tabs start breaking off get loose and wobble...
*Only one tire size choice possible...(basically)

So they are fine when they are in great condition but once they start showing their age...
Most of the "hawk puristist" won't part with them either...

Hawk wheels. Why?......because I can't stand any kind of vette wheels on f-body cars.
