Default Great White Corvette combo Daekwan06!!!

Your white Corvette will be awesome. I like the matching spoiler/mirrors in white. There is enough black elsewhere to blend in.

For the OP: no way man, get rid of the atrocious red wheels. White paint with red interior is a strong manly cool car combo, with either black or silver rims but not red. Red rims only work on a totally blacked-out Corvette. But when selecting colors you always need to see it in person for real, don't ever decide on a photo or picture. Make the effort to go out and see your color options for real; you won't be sorry later if you do this. I made that mistake many years ago on a car. Must see everything in person to be totally satisfied.
Good hunting with your decision.
Fuze,

IMHO wheels color contrast does not work in favor of the the car's total aeshetics.

Thanks blueox for the wax video. It will help my AW.

You mix the white and black waxes together, of course.

Now all of you black wheel lovers can relate to how I feel about black wheels when you look at these red wheels. It does not do the trick for me, ricer look with bad taste at best. To me, all of these C7s that will be driving around with black wheels will seem like guys that use to drive riced out Honda civics, then won the lotto and got a C7.

Are those really a factory option??? I don't like it at all...I think it might draw some chuckles at car shows and...no trophies.

I think the red looks OK. Certainly a lot better than black wheels. That white with black wheels looks almost like it is missing its wheels if you glance at the picture quickly. I don't get the black wheel fad.
