Default Which of these wheels?

Hey all, i'm wanting to go with some C5 Thin Spoke Deep Dish wheels in Z06 sizes. However, I am torn between these two options and i would love to you what you guys think. I know it's mostly just personal choice, but input from friends is always good

I will be lowering the car, adding new shocks, and getting an alignment.

Actual Picture:


Option 1 - Chrome


Option 2 - Gloss Black Center w/ Machined lip (kinda wish it were polished or chrome)


I appreciate your thoughts

Very true

I had started out planning on getting chrome, but the black has really grown on me now that i see it "on the car".

Thanks all for your input. Either way i decide i should be ordering them after Christmas.
