Default Which rims??

I know you guys have seen z06 c5 rims black with chrome lip OR TTII chrome on a black ws6. I already have the z06s with tires already mounted. I love the mean look of black on black but i've been falling for the TTIIs lately. I CANT decide on which to choose. Don't have to post but please vote. Thanks

Chrome wheels on a black car look much better that black wheels on black IMO.

IMO the TT2s would look the best on the bird. Thats why they are more common. The Z06 wheels look better on vetts and camaros than they do on firebirds.

TTII's, but you NEED a drop to go with them. If it's going to be 6 months to 1+ year before you get the drop, go with the Z06s since it's such a hard decision anyway.

TT2's, IMO polished or chrome wheels on black cars look best.

my vote is for TT2's because just because I personally dont like black on black. To me it kinda blends in with the car wheel well and its hard to see what they really are sometimes. Polished is nice and flashy and the TT2 have a nice aggressive look. My opinions is bias though hehe!!!
