Default Red Ss, What Looks Good?

I need new rims and i have the 17" ZR1's And I was thinking of getting the same things just in black with the chrome ring. But Im not sure if it would look good and im always 2nd guessing myself. or i was thinking of the gun metal corvette rims. My car is a Red SS with a black roof and mirrors and with plans on lowering it an inch in the near future! Any input would be nice and id love to see pics!! Anyone selling rims PM me with pics too please. THANKS A LOT!!

yea, paint the zr1's black and get a polished lip on them and it'll look real good. Also you should look in to doing the whistler mod if you havent done so already. And get a black hood scoop filler decal and your car will look amazing

I went outside and snapped a few for you. Not the best photos, but you get the idea.

I just lowered it a few days ago on the LT1 Prokit, so the springs still have to settle a bit.

I say get SS 10 spokes and paint the insides of the wheels and spokes black. That machined face look is awesome.
