CAN'T DECIDE!! help me pick PLEASEE!

Alright well i REALLY cant pick between what wheels i should and shouldn't get. Now either way the scoop is going to be painted a different color then the car and i'm mostly set on gun metal.

My orginal place was to go with Gun metal ZR1s and get the scoop on my black camaro painted to match the wheels. I found them on ebay for round 1k shipped with tires to my door. 17x9 19x10.5's in the back.

I found some local but they are chrome with nittos all around with bout 60% thread left for maybe 700-800$. If i wanted to get them power coated or painted gun metal would that be a good idea??

Now in another thread they had some Bullett Wheels that were 449 shipped to the door w/o tires. And i really like those also. Only problem was that they didn't come in gunmetal but a silver color and it was a very light silver that i didnt really like.

BUT they also come in black with polished lip and i love those also. Was also thinking bout going with just chrome ones.

So what do yall think would look better?!? I can't decide! I'll post a pshop of the gun metal on my car later as well to what the black bullets look like!

Photoshop of the gunmetal rims is the last pick on this page.

I think the gunmetal ZR-1s would look sweet on your car. You could buy the chromes and have them powdercoated,but I would guess that would exceed the cost of the brand new gunmetal ZR-1s off of ebay.

a black chrome wheel such as a black ice ROH RT would look nice. If your car's black then that's probably its theme, so i voted black wheels with polished lip.

I'm not a fan of the whole dark colored wheel thing. Wheels should be bright to contrast your car IMO.

Re: CAN DECIDE!! help me pick PLEASEE!

Gunmetal and black wheels are the current trend while chrome/polised have proven to be timeless, but chrome also tends to flake or pit after a few years while the painted or powder coated wheels hold up better.

You decide, its your car. If you want me to decide, I'll say pink just to force you to decide.
