I like the white wheels , it reminds me of the 1988 anniversary model . That was a sweet ride . I am weighing heavily on doing mine the same way . Looks great and different .....

Waiting to see what the hipo offerings will be, but it (or the Z51 if the hipo ends up being priced out of my range), will have body colored roof, mirrors, and rear spoiler (I think the various black vents already provide plenty of contrast. It will have silver aluminum rims and yellow calibers. Interior will be LT2 or LT3 grey.
I'd love to see some real photos of this combination!

Litumup411: Looks really nice.
I can only suggest to use a heck of a lot of wheel sealant on them, and clean them all the time. I imagine the barrels of the wheels will turn black fast and require very frequent cleaning. My OCD about the wheels prevents me from having white wheels, but when clean like that they really pop!

Armorall Wheel Protectant, I buy it by the case. During winter my driveway doubles as an ice skating rink.

Dude, thanks for taking the great pictures and posting them as many have requested for you to do. A very, very great looking stingray. May I ask you, is it around $1000 to powder coat all 4 wheels or more? Did they have to strip the wheel of finish before coating? Congrats!
It was $500 to strip the paint, powder coat and clear the wheels, $40 to take them off the rims and another $120 to have them mounted and balanced. It took about four days for turnaround, so I also needed jacks to raise the car.....carefully.
Thank you to everyone for all of the kind words. I hope you all are enjoying your car just as much as I am. If you're ever around Delaware or Philadelphia let me know.

Looks fantastic! A perfect example of no need to buy aftermarket wheels... (like RedVett1 who powdercoated his set black) the results speak for themselves. Excellent job!
IMHO this is much better than spending a grand or more for another set of wheels plus tires too if diff sizes.
