I've got black chrome GS replicas on my CE. 9.5's on the front and 11's on the rear. They came with polished aluminum center caps and chrome lug nuts. At first I didn't think the chrome/polished cap would look very good but after I received them I think they look pretty good. The black chrome wheels go pretty good with the silver color of the car. I'll have to get some pics to post for you.

Here are a few pics of my wheels.
Whole car.
Rear wheel close-up.
Depending on the angle and the lighting sometimes the wheels look more black ... other times they look more chrome.

Kevin, I have a black LT4 with the black GS wheels and chrome centers/caps. It looks good on mine because it breaks the black a bit. I'd have to see your wheels on the car to give you a good opinion but I think ALL black wheels may be a bit much...unsure.

Well mine are AFS. I believe the thin lip is the GM OE wheel.

Had to adjust the size, sorry for the intrusion.
By the way, I have black chrome powdercoated my factory wheels and maintained the chrome center caps and lug nuts.
