body color lip and black wheels would probably be pretty bad ass especially with the black hood and what looks like black ground effects. i'd see about a photochop first

Think out of the box when it comes to wheels!

Silver Painted ZR1's aren't as common in my opinion and look very clean with just about any color car, go with a 17x9 all around it makes it easy to replace tires, and will look fine with a 4th gen rear out back.

Heres some other random wheels for visual reference.
