Default Chrome or Black





I'm looking to upgrade to the Z06 style rims for my 98 but am unsure if I should get chrome or black. The car is torch red with ablack interior and blackrag top. Thechrome rims would look sweet with the exhaust and the roll bars.. but im going with the black and red theme as well...

Lemme know what u guys think

I have chrome rims on my vette right now but I'm going to buy black rims with a silver lip. I would go with black, I think it makes the car look mean.

I would either do black with the polished lip or black with a custom painted red lip to match the car. Let us know what you go with and show some pics once they have been mounted.
