Black wheels
Is it just me? I don't get the black wheels on the C6's and 7's. Make them look dirty or something. I would much rather see chrome or aluminum.

To each his own. I think the factory black wheels on the new cars looks great.

I too am a chrome wheel lover. But when my wife and I went to the NCM to look at the sinkhole cars there was a triple black vert sitting in the delivery area that just looked bad azzed with its black wheels.

I don't understand spending the money on black wheels that you can only see the design and sometimes size of the wheel within 10-15 ft of the car. Also reminds me of what cars look like when when their hubcaps fall off. I wouldn't know any difference until im about 10 ft away. Blacked out vehicles dont look bad, just nothing I'd ever do to anything At least with gun metal or charcoal wheels the design is noticeable. I'm 31 and don't get it.
I guess to each their own.

Depends on the car .... I loved chrome / aluminum wheels my entire life . Since I painted my car white & went with 100% black trim .... The perfect choice is black wheels .

I personally like the chrome/aluminum look. I think the young guys think black looks racey. Back in the old days (pre C-2) I would polish the MAGNESIUM wheels on my dragster to make a presentable appearance.
