here's mine, but I recently sold them for all black because I didn't really care for the machine faced look with the red.

I lucked out; my sales guy called me about a week later after taking delivery wanting to know where to sell Corvette parts. It seems that someone mucked-up on a car order and checked Machined wheels when they should have checked black, and the customer wasn't happy. My car came with chromes, but I really prefer the Machined wheels.....so it was a simple buy his for $1K and listed mine for $1500 on CF.

Keep an eye out on Flea-Bay; OEM's are always showing up now and again. Good Luck

I got some Chinese knockoffs for $800 (I think the OEMs are made in China, too). I hope they'll be good for PSS A/S 3+ that I have on order for cold weather tires (but no snow).

Those machine faced wheels with the black inserts do look very good.

Here's my car in the Museum waiting for pickup - you can see it has the Z06 Spectra Gray wheels on it which have a machined stripe around the outside edge:





And below is a picture coming off the Rolex24 roadcourse at Daytona with a set of machined face Cup wheels that came off a C6 ZR1. I believe these are the exact same wheels available on the C7 Grand Sport (except for center caps - and I have a set of C7 center caps for these wheels, but they're removed for the track):

This is the machined treatment of the base wheel design for 2016....

Here are my MF on my black vert. IMO all black wheels tend to just blend in on a black car. Now if was a Torch Red that would be a different story.
