Default Question for TomLzzz

I've bought 5 wheels from TomzWheels and loved their customer service so I thought I'd ask a few questions and see if a few others could chime in and help out as well.

Currently on my C5 coupe I have C6 Factory Reproductions in the C5 coupe sizes. I'd like to step away from chrome for something less noticeable and "blingy."

I'm thinking black would be a bit much - what do you all think about black chrome? Titanium colored? Machined? I'm not a fan of the motorsports look which helps narrow my options. I'd like to stick with C5 sizes so I don't have to spend the $$ on new tires.

My question to you TomLzzz is what would you suggest? Here is my C5 that you helped upgrade with a gorgeous set of wheels awhile ago

For what it's worth, I really like the chrome on silver, Jason. It's your car - do what makes you happy, but I think your car looks great the way it is! If you really want something a little more subtle, you could always do C5Z06 rims in that stock argent color. Besides changing the look, they'll likely lighten up the car a bit.

I'm honestly thinking black ZR1 wheels. Tom, what do you carry in C5 sizes for C6 style wheels?

I'd pick up locally from Factory Reproductions in Chino if FR's are the style I go with again.
