Black Rims on 93-97 Camaros (Teal car would be a plus)

I have an all orginal 95 Teal Camaro z28 with 50k on it I picked up over the summer. I am getting the windows tinted Monday and buying all the black out covers within the next couple days. I am on the border line between Chrome and Black wheels. I think with the tint and the blackouts black ones would look nice. I was thinking of corvette C6 rims 18s in the front and 19s in the rear, but I am not ready to make a decision yet. Anyone with opinions and pictures would really help.

Here is a pic:

Chrome by a large margin. Black and teal will look like a big bruise.

Update:
Windows are now 5% tinted and I got my turn signal and taillight blackouts on. I'm still working on the headlight blackouts, but have been a little busy. I also bought sunoco z28 stripes and the rear fillin in camaro lettering.
Today I just went and bought an SS hood with the air box and a wrap around SS scoop stripe decal.
I am still very uncertain about what rims I want but I think I am leaning more towards chrome now.
Here is a pic as it sits now...hope to get the hood painted and decals on soon.

Looks good, now add some....power....

Which ever wheel you go with I would stick 18" or smaller.

Saw this in another thread so I thought I'd come back and post it in here for the OP:

Re: Black Rims on 93-97 Camaros (Teal car would be a plus)

Here is an up to date pic of what it looks like. I am getting the hood painted and stripes on within the next 2 weeks hopefully. I took my 17" rims off my 91 firebird and put them on to see what they looked like...not to bad if I say so myself. I am still unsure whether I want black or chrome, but I think I am going with corvette c6 deep dish rims 18x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the back.

These might not be the exact style you want but just to give ya an idea they are the same staggered sizes with the rear being 19x10.5 or 11. They're C6 ZO6 gunmetal. I'm pretty sure they make em in black too.[IMG][/IMG]

UPDATE:
The hood is currently being painted and all my decals are being put on. It should be done around wednesday. I will have pictures up for sure by next weekend. I am still not sure what rims to get for it. Thanks for all the help, it has helped me narrow down on a select few. Once I finally decide, my exterior will finally be done and I can start adding power

Not completely done yet, but this is where I am at now. What do you guys think of these Torq Thrust M's on the car?

Re: Black Rims on 93-97 Camaros (Teal car would be a plus)

Certainly looks world better than the starting picture, although Torque Thrusts are not my style, too 3rd Gen' for me. (But it's not my car so what does it really matter).

Looks to me like you may want to think about lowering it though, to remove the large wheel gap, or going with 18s vs 17s.
