Default I need some honest opinions on wheels.

Ok, well I've been through every damn wheel I could possibly afford, but I still can't figure out what I want. Well I think I'm gonna go ahead and go back to one of my decisions, a 17x11/17x9.5 combo with 275/40's up front and 315/35's in the rear. It's between black or chrome, chrome and black together look sick, but fuck these black wheels look hot as motherfucker.

So now is where I need you all, I know some of you are biased to the black wheels, but I want opinions on what would look good on MY car.

Here's my car:


Black ZR1's:


Chrome ZR1's:

I can get away with bling bling shits because I don't drive an import.

I like bling wheels on cars but the black wheels look a lot better on that car.

If you could post a picture of the chrome wheels on a non-convertable car w/ the ram air hood, it would make this decision fair.

The car with the chrome wheels looks like shit, and chrome will be demolished with a picture like that for comparison purposes.

I like your stock rims more than either of those. I think its really a pointless thing to spend money on, because the ZR1s arent jaw dropping at all.. they look like they came stock on the car. But your car, not mine

My stock wheels look like WS6 wheels in that pic (atleast in size), if they were then I'd keep them, unfortunately they're not, they are 16x8 with 245's and those black zr1's brand new are $440. I can't afford anything "jaw dropping" such as fikse's, ccw's, hre's, etc, which are all jaw dropping rims IMO.

I plan on going with the black ones, I just wanted to know what some of you all thought. Just curious.

Well I searched ls1.com and that's all I could come up with and ls1tech is pulling some gay shit on the search, so I can't find anything else right now.
