I'd shoot for black/silver combo on the wheels for that car. I am all about pulling the black on the car into the wheels though...

I think your car would be one of the few cars I would say go silver on. I'm not usually a fan of silver, but you have the silver around the bottom that would contrast nice

talk pops into the silver, it will look MUCH better, i promise, cause of the silver stripes around the bottom. it will give it a more modern muscle car look to it. chrome zr1's would look guady on that car in my opinion.

The chrome looks some much better. I understand the silver stripe and silver rims but the shiny chrome rims to compliment the car so much more.

i think i agree. the silver kind of tones things down too much IMO. i think the chrome makes it stand out more.

I don't like the chrome at all on that color. the SLP Black-chrome might look better.

To be honest, I'm not liking the ZR1s at all on that car. I think Z06s would look a lot better.
