Default Black Rims or Chrome rims?
According to the forum a large contingent believe that Chrome rims are old school and black rims are for the young guys. I’m here to tell you you’re all WRONG!!!

Chrome+Big is the in thaaang. DON’T WAIT OR BE LEFT OUT!!! GET YOURS ORDERED TODAY!!!!

This is gonna look great on your Vettes!!

Nope. You have to carry a spare somewhere on the car

Go to the truck tire retread shop, have them vulcanize a strip of retread right to the wheel. Problem solved!

You are missing the natural progression of things. The next big purchase for guys with black rimmed Vettes will be these super big tires and chrome rims. The older guys will then abandon their small chrome rims and move to black.

True dat. I went to black wheels in 08 before white/black became popular. That is all the trend setting I will do. Pass on the donk donk. Would not want all the chrome lovers to move to black. What would we argue about?

Good point. We do need something else to argue about beyond the normal GS Vs. Z06 Vs. narrow body Vs. ZR1 Vs. ???? What generation is better or fastest color made. What product shines the best. Coupe or Vert!!! Too....much....to....argue.....about.... ..hitting....over..load.

Not only that but the Stance group seems to be drawn to chrome as well!!

I wonder if anyone has tried big huge chrome rims that are pitched/ slanted?
