Default Competiton Gray C6 or Z06 Wheels on a Victory Red C6?

Does anyone have pictures of a Victory Red C6 with Competiton Gray wheels or Z06 Competition Gray wheels? I was thinking about putting reproduction Z06 wheels in Competion Gray on my Victory Red Z51Coupe and I wanted to see what those or regular Competition Gray wheels look like with Victory Red.

Thanks Craig. Looks good! I am sure they show less brake dust than my polished wheels do. How close is the competiton gray color to the color of the brake calipers? Thanks.

Personally I don't care for the chrome wheels and the bling look. I prefer a racier look that is why I like the polished wheels and the competition gray wheels. When I was looking for my C6 I looked at only cars with painted or polished wheels, but I never saw a car in person with the competition gray wheels. I was concerned that the competiton gray might be too dark with the red so I wanted to see it.

nice pic.. same color combo here except i have the red roof.
personally, i think the grey wheels look sportier, brake dust problem is the same, i still wipe the wheels daily, dust is bad w/ (Z51). The wheels and the calipers are a very close match, another plus, for me at least. The wheels also look darker at night, pretty badazz if you ask me.

Competition Gray, it makes a classy contrast with the red!

Thanks for the replys everyone. I am still hoping someone has pictures of Competiton Gray Z06 wheels (OEM or reproduction) on a Victory Red C6 or Z06.

And they look very nice on your LMB vert too Tom! I like the blue. Where did you get your wheels? Also what sizes did you get? I was thinkng about 18x9.5 in front and 19x11 in the rear. Your wheels are just what I am looking for.

The chrome looks better on the Z06 wheels than I thought it would. I still want the CG though.

CG is a very kool and agressive look. it will set your car apart from the norm . so do the CG wheels.

I got them from the House of Wheels. There's a link for the over on the list of forum vendors. My wheels are in the stock size and offset for the coupe and convertible. So no problem for your OEM tires. Here's a up close pic of one. The decal that I have on the center cap doesn't come with them though.
