Keep em black? Or go back to Silver w/Chrome lip? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I like the silver paint, not a big fan of black wheels. Back in the day it just meant you lost your hubcaps if you had black wheels. I know it's popular and cool to look all murdered and suchlike but it's not my style.
I'd go for silver with black and yellow trim though.

What was the question again?

Black is better. It makes your car look more aggressive and tough.....like a Camaro should be.

MikeGstayUp · 07-07-2012, 03:42 AM

I like black wheels but in this case the silver and chrome have my vote.

It'd look sharp.

I'll second this...

A more expensive option than painting them, but you could go with a black chome

I wasn't keen on chrome wheels on the Camaro either, but am really happy with the way the black chrome/midnight chrome look on mine.

Damn Rogan, not sure why your car looks so much lower than mine. How many fingers can you get between the fender for each side?

Pentatonic · 07-08-2012, 12:32 AM

I think all black wheels looks good by exception rather than the rule. Go back to silver & chrome.

AtotheJ · 07-08-2012, 01:40 AM

Heres another question: what percentage of people say, over 40, thing silver is the better option?. Then what percentage of people under 40 say black? Just a hypothetical question. I think its a generational thing.

AtotheJ · 07-08-2012, 01:41 AM

for the record, I say black

alanhurst · 07-08-2012, 09:42 AM

if you had black rally stripes the black wheels would look alot better. as your car sits in the pics though, silver looks better.
