I love chrome and black. On a silver car, the black would be pretty mean.

i was looking up the prices of those WS6 chrome wheels and if im gonna pay for them i might as well just get the Z06 wheels which i like better...i think i might get some silver painted or polished wheels instead

stay away from the polished wheels. They are a pain to keep clean and shiney. Worse investment i made. Its definetly worth the extra money for chrome.

My chrome WS6 cost $60 per wheel more than the polished. It's worth it like stang_killa94 said about the cleaning and it shines like no polished wheels will ever match.

I went with chrome on my silver Z. (pics in "My Website"). Then chrome emblems and rear inserts, them clear corners and rear markers. It all kinda flows.

Silver wheels on a silver car looks good IMO, it hard to go wrong there. Polished aluminum is high maintenace but looks the best on a muscle car.

I say go black w/ a polished lip, that would look badass. Maybe I'm just biased, not a fan of chrome rims on a performance car.

When I first got my car and I was looking for rims I thought about going with black rims... but I was also going to go with Black outs everywhere and "viper" stripes in black with tinted windows so like Roger said it would all flow together. But now I think Black rims look like a tire with out the hole.

Are you kidding me?? Get rid of those funky side stripes or whatever they are and that thing would be gorgeous.

Chrome on a silver car. Black seems to go best with a red or black car. Silver wheels seem to go good on a dark silver/charcoal or other dark but not quite black color. Just my $.02

I have to say chrome on a silver car. I went chrome with mine. I couldnt see myself putting black rims on my car, it would look very ugly and somewhat bland or plain since the exterior is primarily silver and black.

Chrome on a silver car? Not that original. I think it would look good in chrome if its a thin spoke wheel only. Overwise and a nice silver wheel with a polished lip is hot as well on a silver car. If your going to go with black rims...make sure they are powder coated in a very glossy black. If you really want to be original and turn heads, get some black chrome rims....that would be hot
