Usually Corvette owners will say whatever they have on their own Vette is the best. I'll go against that trend. I much rather have black/comp grey wheels than chrome. Chrome looks to dirty to quick. The C6 definitely doesn't need help getting attention.

Google "black chrome" could be an intermediate option to bring all the haters back into the chrome rim love

Nope, exhaust tips need to be chromed.

It's the only part of the car that does. Everything else in chrome is tasteless.

Lemme understand this...

You look at a photo of a car that's a coupe, has black wheels, and hash marks.

Then you say you don't like coupes, black wheels, and hash marks, but that's a nice looking car.

Yup, makes sense to me.

one of the best, it has so many direct references to real life issues, just like this one, black wheels on Vettes

Although, come to think of it, you black rim guys remind me more of the Costanza "shrinkage" episode...

Any way my 2011 coupe can look sinister with chrome wheels?

Too much for ya, huh?
Let me see if I can make it plainer: I am not a fan (read that "would not own it") but the car in question is what I actually said it was: "that is a good lookin' rig!" And let me add clean, tasteful, subtle...still doesn't mean I want it in my garage.
You (apparently) don't care for chrome wheels so (I get the impression) you look at a car with chrome wheels as being wrong.

I made the same black wheel purchase mistake and hate it the look on my Millennium. Went back to polished alum and love it $1,800 later
