Contemplating about ZR1 wheels.....sliver or chrome? Need input please...

Ok, essentially after I get the car RUNNING I am going to repaint the car red with black racing stripes(kinda like deepstage69's car). Anyway, since the car is being built for street/strip, I will be using two sets of wheel and tires, one for the street and one for the track. For the street, I want the ZR1 wheel, however, due to the color of the car, would it be better if I used the silver finish or went with chrome? I always see problems with chrome rims with bubbling, peeling, and corrosion. I do think that the chrome will really bring out the red in the car and make it 'pop'. For the track she will be wearing Weld Pro Stars 15x5 up front and 15x10 in the rear. Any input, suggestions/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Pics would hurt either......
