Default New GM chrome rims

I finally got my new rims installed. I really am very pleased and don't miss the painted silver rims at all.

I like the LBR and the new wheels. Think about some skirts.

Rims look good. Correct me if I am wrong, but your car is crystal red yes?

Chrome wheels makes the car pop. The chrome and red really go together.

I put the 16 chrome rims on my 14 LRG and it is a great improvement over the 14 rims.

Those wheels really look great with a red car. Are they GM or aftermarket?

GM wheels. I'm not a big fan of aftermarket.

the 2014 -15 base wheels are very boring . Those look way better and now you have a 2016 CORVETTE!

That red really pops. 2016 color celection is really limited. Long Beach Red is the only selection that I currently like. Same hue as Night Race Blue when both colors are side by side.
