That color accepts most wheels just fine. I have the same. Sort of favoring stock for now.

If I had to choose from the 2 designs I like the ZR-1 design, but please ditch the chrome and go black or gun metal...if you must go chrome at least go black chrome...silver looks so damn good with dark wheels...

Anything Gun Metal! Nothing sexier on a Silver car. The car is nice and bright already... the chrome doesn't do a lot for it like on a darker color. My opinion anyway. Good luck with your decision!

Ugh, I'm not a fan of black wheels in general, but those black wheels are the UGLIEST black wheels I've ever seen. Please don't ruin your car with them...

Go with black wheels, but not the ones you had in that link. I cant believe how many compliments I have gotten once I switched to black wheels earlier this year.

The ZR-1 look great, but cleaning inside the barrel and brakes is more difficult which is why I like a 5 spoke. Your present rims go perfect with the car IMO.

My choice would be the ZR-1 wheels. Good luck with your decision.
