Default Two C7's Get Together, Black Rims vs Standard, Z51 vs Non, Black vs NRB

Only thing better than one C7 is two. Austin is rocking !

After the Friday golf game, took pics--both bought from MacMulkin.

My black Z51 and my friends NRB non-Z51. Both amazing cars!!

A little compare and contrast

I'm sorry but black wheels look so much better.

I don't like the angled spoke design either on the non Z...

Nice grouping! You can definitely notice the smaller wheel size on the non Z when parked next to yours. It would be nice if GM would fix that with the 2015s and make them 19 and 20 too.

Sweet, your the black C7 expert! I found that I wasn't worthy.

Not too many here like the base wheels, including me, but if I'm going to keep the base wheels, having seen the painted and chrome ones in person, the chrome look much better. Chrome can look gaudy or cheap, but the simple 5 spoke design has a quality, serious look, and nicely contrasts with the tires without being too bright or too busy as the aftermarket wheels I've seen so far.

I'm sorry but painted wheels look so much better.

I don't like black wheels in any design.

Thanks for this great comparison. Are they by chance a 2LT and 3LT interior? Can you make comparative comments?

Thanks.

We both have 2LT (I have interior shots if you want--it's a sweet interior), no 3LT. For black it wasn't worth it for me

LOVE the C7. Car gets more attention, is much more fun to drive and just looks stealth
