IMHO, I think they will look awesome. I kind of favor the black wheels on certain colors and on yellow will be sweeeeeet.

I ordered 2 chrome but am now wondering about these rims.

They are only about $500.

Thanks for your input.

I know what you mean. I have polished classic CCWs and decided I am going to PC the center pieces black (on a Red Z). I am still going to have some chrome with the bolts and polished lip with Carter's ZR-1 polished center caps. I did not care for the polished look on my Red. It took awhile for me to make the decision (a few years in my case). I PC'd my stock centers black and left polished lip and love it so decided to go black with the CCWs. At least the Yellow is so rare so you'll be a little unique either way you good. Great price and best wishes with your decision.

I forget what year yours is? I meant to mention that I went with black centers because of the 90 and the black molding really sets off well.

Yes, I'll post some pics after I get them done. Right now I have drama rebuilding the LT5. I think it will look really trick, but you know how that goes in our own minds. Yes, now I remember you Z and also saw your post on the "OTHER" site. I like the black centers, but your Z does look nice the way it is now too.....hmmmm, I see why it is a tough decision for you.

Personally I think the "dish" look on the 5-spoke looks odd. Maybe it's just because I know they are cheap chinese knock-offs?

I'd say do it right and either get GS wheels and spacers, or some Z wheels and refinish them black.
