What wheels should I get?

Im kinda stuck here on my decision. Im deciding between chrome Z06 wheels, or the black motorsport z06 wheels. They are going on my black tinted T/A.

Re: What wheels should I get?

Don't really care for black wheels on black cars. Just gets to be a little too much, but that's just my opinion.

Since you're only giving two options.... I'd take the chrome Z06's but either way.... buy what you like and enjoy.

How is the maintence on your chome wheels? I bought the polished aluminum ones a few months ago and Im tired of polishing each wheel by hand every other month to keep them shiny. I would thing the chrome ones are a little easier to keep clean.

Re: What wheels should I get?

BTW, does anyone have a pic of an LT1 T/A with the black motorsport wheels? That would help my decision.

From Brent's appearance guide.

Kinda hard to tell what's on the car but that's the way it is with black wheels.

Not that it looks bad, but you have to have everything just right (lighting) to really discern the wheel shape, features, etc..

Re: What wheels should I get?

and those arent the motorsports on that car either, actually, looks kinda photoshopped. the motorsports have NO lip to them, why i didnt like them :-/
maintanance on chrome is fairly simple. just some soapy water and towel dry, and apply a coat of wax or 2 to help repel dust and such

Re: What wheels should I get?

I like the look of polished aluminum best. And you can buy/get them clearcoated, eliminating the high-maintenance aspect that slayer6x6 mentioned.

HERE is a set of Y2K's for sale on ebay... they are black, but have a machined face. If you could get them in Z06's (and I don't think you can), they might be just the ticket.

Re: What wheels should I get?

Well I just won the auction on the chrome ones. They were around $760 shipped. So if anyone is interested in a 1 month old polished aluminum set, they are for sale.
