Chrome wheel guys - is it tough to keep clean? I like the chrome wheels with the black muscle appearance but I’m not looking for more upkeep.

Black 1LE rims look awesome with the complete GM package (hood, spoiler, red brakes, splitter). I could slowly add those parts.

At the risk of getting 100 different opinions, is there any consensus about which way to go on a black 2014 SS? Bronze? Gunmetal? Stay factory? ....Geez I’m aweful at this!
Its really up to you in the end. Do some Google searching and look over a lot of pics. See what you like and go for it.



I can tell you why I stayed away from chrome. Chrome over aluminum always pitts. It is inevitable. After it does so you cannot fix it. They are garbage and only good for recycle. If anything happens to a painted wheel you can repaint it. Easy peasy.

Just my .02 cents

Full black looks awesome in my opinion, but as previously mentioned, it’s all up to you.

To me, gunmetal on black would probably be the choice.

I have cyber gray 2010 and on the lookout for some wheels as well. Gloss black for my application.

Good luck!

I have chrome and they are very easy to clean. Ive had them for 8 yrs. Black wheels are hard to keep clean just like black cars. But in the end it’s up to you on which way to go. Also if you haven’t already changed your brakes pads the stock ones create an unbelievable amount of brake dust.
