Default Best black wheels for a black C6?

I have a black 2007 c6 with chrome wheels and I'm thinking about making the move to black wheels. Who has good pics of a base coup with black on black? Thanks!

Lots of pics online but you could also plasti dip your chrome rims to see how you like it first.

I don't have the narrow body... but I'm also black on black and love it. Tinted windows too.

As my mother said "well,... you always wanted the batmobile, now you have it"

I really like these 360 forged mesh 8s. These wheels cost about $5000.

Forgive the blue car .... but I'd vote for Forgestar F14's.

I have the optional liquid smoke finish..but black looks great too.

If you want to stay stock OEM, I like these wheels. I swapped my chrome Gumbys for them. They're 2012 OEM Vette wheels I had powder coated gloss black.

I too love the black wheel look on a black C6. I bought a set of Cray manta wheels from forum vendor Double D Mods back in February of 2013 for my 2010 C6 coupe. I chose the chrome ring which really accents the wheel. Here are a couple of shots of my ride...........
