I only liked Cragar S/S wheels in chrome [Made for US 60s, 70s, 80s cars].

eek. that would look good on a domestic, especially old school mopar but not on a Z IMO. I'm not much of a chrome fan on Z's.

Never been a big fan of chrome myself. On anything that I want shinny on a vehicle I usually opt for polished aluminum. I have seen some Z's with chrome wheels that looked pretty sweet but it's just not for me.

there isnt a true answer to your question only opinions and my personal opinion for what its worth is Z's look better with more "race" ready wheels such as volks than chrome but with that said it can be pulled off well if its a clean set up.
haha i am not 14! im like really really old! i guess you saw my myspace page haha.. yeah opinions is what i need to hear.. the stupid car is making me feel bad because no one like my rims.. im about to put the factorys back on!

No way do chrome wheels look good on a Z. I don't think it can be done without looking like poo.

I disagree. Chrome on Black looks great, some chrome rims on Blue looks good also.

I'm not a fan of all chrome wheels (sorry, Bubble, even yours). I am a fan of chrome lips though, just not crome spokes.

Chrome will looks good on any color if you pick the right wheel. I mean you can't get the bling style from SUV and put to the Z. There are only few chrome wheels that looks good on the Z but the price is not cheap. You're looking somewhere from $4K to $5K (wheels & tires)
