    Plast-dip, or no dip. Opinions wanted

    Did half the wheels on the vette to see if I like it because I'm kinda over the whole chrome wheel thing. I think it looks much better, what say you SCMC

    I like black wheels, but just not on that red vette. I think the chrome looks much better.

    I like black wheels on a red car, but I'm biased.

    EDIT - there has to be some sort of black accents (stripes, roof, etc) for the black wheels to work
