I personally like the subtle polished rather than chromed look which is why I went with CCW's. However, a very close second was something like a 3-piece unit with black centers and chrome/polished outer lip. Would look with my blackouts.

Personally i just put the new Z06 chrome rims on my Torch and saved a lot of performance bucks over the higher dollar options. I will be adding a cam with the extra performo-bucks!
