Gloss Black or Chrome 10 spoke ZL1's on Inferno Orange?
I could use some help on this decision. My Zl1 has the 5 spoke wheels and I'd like to pull them off, as there is some curb rash on each of them. I may sell them or have them restored.
Looking at ZL1 10 spoke reproductions, and I can't decide between chrome or gloss black. I am 50, so chrome has always been a staple, and truthfully, I have never been a fan of black wheels, but the more I see them on an Inferno Oranage car like mine, the more I am liking them. |

Black chrome
 Picture of your car? I generally don't care for chrome and typically like black wheels, but of course every case is different and chrome can look pretty bad ass too. Edit: if you're car is stock/no cosmetics have been done I'd say black with the orange would look pretty slick.

I am mid fifties and I always had chrome Cragars or something similar on my cars. It took me awhile to come around to liking black wheels, seemed like something the kids like. I finally bought some and they do look good but are hard to keep clean. I say get both, change them around once in awhile. A girl can never have too many shoes, right?

I have gloss black foose wheels and get dirty right away from the brake dust. I have the OEM pads still though so that may get better with lower dust pads. I am an old fart too and I am kind of leaning toward getting chrome or black chrome if I replace the wheels. I hope to see some black chrome in person at the fest. From pictures I am just not sure.

If you tend to lean toward flashy get the chrome. If you want attitude go with black. Either one will look awesome! Good luck in your decision!

I think either would look good but like you I am not a big fan of black. I went with silver as I find chrome does not hold up well.

You could do a Nickle Pearl like the Corvette GS. I just bought a set of Gen 6 wheels in gun metal gray.

Orange and black would look a little too Halloweenie to me. I think some of the gray metallics might look good. They hide brake dust better than either black or chrome too.
