Black? Or Chrome?

Hi guys,

I'm not getting my rims anytime soon. But it's one of my top things to get. I thought I wanted chrome for the LONGEST time... but now I'm actually thinking about Black rims.

I have a Black 1LT... and i really cant decide. Can you guys help me out?
Chrome is nice, but can look kinda tacky. Chrome feels like more heritage to american muscle cars.

Black rims look more modern, and can really be cool for the black car. Also, all black reminds me of the Batmobile =D.

But yeah, any ideas?
Thanks =D

Black is heritage as well.
Dad's '71 came with black wheels with the chrome ring.

It's all in how you like it visually.

Chrome!!
My personal opinion,I absolutly hate black wheels. I don't know what it is,but any car with black wheels just ruins the look of the car for me.

Black rims are touchy... Done wrong they just look dirty.
