I voted no, because your poll asked "Do you like them?" and I wouldn't put them on my Vette. But I enjoy seeing other Corvettes styled differently from my taste. If you had asked "Should I put these on my Vette?". I would have voted yes.

Yes all the way in any color you like.

I have modded my rims to color match and I can tell you people will trip all over themselves to get a closer look at them. Without a doubt it is the one MOD that gets positive/amazing comments from every age group. The rims turn heads like no other set I have ever owned.

I entered the Vette in a local Good Guys car show. They had a day you could enter newer makes of American muscle cars. My Vette drew crowds all day long with tons of questions and pictures taken. The fact that it drew larger crowds than the C7 a few cars down the line told me all I needed to know about the MODs I made. It was also the least expensive MOD on the car.

If it's your vision, do it. You won't regret it.

I love those Chrome and red wheels....very nice.....any wheel with Chrome on it will draw a crowd of admirers.......black wheels not so much...... Black and chrome would work also......but more chrome and less black.....

Thanks. I was on the fence before doing them but decided to go for it because I could change them back pretty easily. Corvette forum guys are mixed on them but everyone else has positive comments so I kept them.

If the top on my Vette was black, I would have gone with the black accents.

Looks good to me. The problem with black wheels is a lack of definition. You have black tires, black wheels and a black wheel well, all with different textures and different shades of black. They most always need something like another color to break up all the black. Even a simple wheel band improves the look of black wheel IMO.

Thought about a gold color too, but the copper jumps out more at me.

oh yeah, the wheels are getting made, the color combo is still negotiable. The place I got my order in is going to paint only one wheel and then we will go from there depending on shades and so forth.
