How about a silver finish? I am not really into the black or chrome thing anymore.
The stock silver is the better looking option on a Night Race Blue Stingray - in my opinion.

Looks good, I got mine as well, but it will be a while before I mount and install. Want weather to be consistently above 45 degrees.

I did notice when looking at mine they do not seem nearly as dark as the ones pictured originally. kinda wish they were darker...

Going to hit them with a good coat of rejax Polish. Now I have to figure out which center caps to use.

Eric:

The wheels look GREAT. I really like the blend between the chrome and the black. Looks great with the Laguna Blue.

I am so glad the referral worked well for you. I get a ton of compliments on my wheels, even though they are chrome.

Post some more pics. Congrats to you.

Just got my new chrome wheels installed with the Stingray center caps.....they really change the appearance of the base C7.....I love these wheels. First Corvette in 50 years that I've changed the stock wheels out.....so happy that I did it.

Tractman:

I could not agree more. How did the wheel weights work out on your install?

I also changed out the OEM 19" & 20" run-flat Michelin tires with non run-flat Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires. The ride is smooth and quiet and eliminated much of the inside road noise.

Love the wheels. They are very high quality.

Here's a new pic with the aftermarket Z06 style wheels purchased from DocZ.

Thanks....nmvettec7.........I had one wheel with 3/4 oz, 1 w/2 oz, 1 w/1.5 oz, and one with Zero oz! I haven't driven it since I installed the wheels....roads still have too much winter grit on them so it might be another month before I hit the road with it. If I have any shake at all I'll pull them off and do the road force balance.

My bet is, they will be fine. Your C7 looks great. Congrats on the new wheels and the installation.

You get a ton of compliments BECAUSE they are chrome and good looking! If I bought a c7 grand sport, this product would already be in the garage when the car arrived.

this is a z06 with stock wheels, so there is no imagination required to see what a grand sport would look like with the same style chrome wheels on it.

Your pictures from N.M. are so clear they look surreal.
