Arctic White with Gold or Bronze Wheels? Looking For Pics
I've searched the forums and Google as well to no avail. I'm looking for an Arctic White C6 with gold or bronze wheels. It seems to be pretty rare, or I'm lousy at finding it. Or it may be that I'm the only strange person that finds that color combo sexy.
Post 'em up if you have any pics or links. Thanks ya'll.
This is what I had in mind regarding color.

Those wheels look hot but IMO if I put those on my white c6 the wheels would be the show not the car. I want my wheels to compliment the car not the other way around.

I see what you mean. Good point. Perhaps a less "flashy" five star wheel would be a better example?

Not a huge fan of gold wheels, but I do think that those are gorgeous, expensive looking wheels that would look pretty darned decent on your white Corvette. I may get flamed for saying this, but adding a complimentary gold accent like a stripe might really complete the look. Alone, the gold wheels might be a lot to deal with....

This might help.Try opening the link in another window (cuz it will shrink).

If it helps I did see a white C5 with similar wheels in the "Post your best track pic" over on the Autocross board of this forum. Somewhere around page 15 I believe.

It appears not. Perhaps if I find a 2008 AW Z-51 M6 I could be among a very few to go with a color combo like this. After speaking with the wifey, I'm officially "in the market" now. I'm going to toss up a WTB ad soon enough.

This is as close as I could come for you.......if the link does not work, try going over to Tire Rack.com and going through the menues for seeing their wheel selections on your car-- you can even choose your car's correct color:

I would love to see this done on a C6... white with gold wheels is common with imports. Here are some examples:
And maybe you're convinced... the problem is finding wheels that are a good style to complement the C6.
