Question Black or chrome wheels on a silver car?

Just wanted to see what yall thought would look better on a silver firebird...chrome or black wheels.
Ive been looking at wheels for a while and cant figure out which ones would look better...i usually dont like black wheels but would think they would look good on a silver car...

Ive been looking at something like these...

I think majority of the folks on here would agree with me when I say CHROME. Black wheels just look dirty IMO. I've seen VERY few cars that the black wheels looked good on. If I were you, I'd get chrome. Looks very clean on silver cars.

I'm not a fan of black wheels.

Here's mine for comparison..



I think it looks perfect with just the stock chrome wheels on it..don't plan on changing them.

I don't know how much. They're 17" WS6 wheels(not the newer style ones I see on '01's and '02's)

Look in the for sale section I guess.
