If I was willing to spend 6k on a forged fully polished wheel I would have got those. Lol. With these I'm running a 295/30/20 non run flat and it seems to hook better. Has anyone run a 305/30/20 on a base c7? I'm not sure of the offset on these wheels,but no problems with the 295's.
Thanks

I guess I'm to old to understand the appeal of black wheels......when I was a kid most everyone had hubcaps, and the rims were black. So if you lost a hubcap or someone stole all 4 you basically had today's black rims. That's why they always look cheap to me even though I know they are the most popular right now and are not cheap.
To me they always look like you can't afford hubcaps lol........but I appreciate that not all our tastes are the same and even without the hubcaps you Vette looks awesome

I much prefer the chrome wheels, but black wheels are popular now and still look good.

I'm a fan of black wheels in general, I have them on my SG C7, but I don't like them on bright silver C7's.
Bottom line, if you like it, that's all that matters.

Cyber Gray, Watkins Glen Gray and Silver are my three favorite colors for C7. Too me, Silver looks best with chrome wheels, then black and silver paint last. Just my $.02. Either way, really like your C7.

I think you Vette looks good with either chrome or black. I think silver looks good with the silver painted, chrome, or black wheels.
The black wheels look great.

Painted/Chrome/Black all look good to me. Which one you choose is up to you. The only thing that I would miss is the stringray emblem on the sides.
I came so close to buying you're exact same car with factory black stripes.
Just had to have a Rag Top.

Chrome is for grandpas. Painted silver or actually polished, is fine, but chrome just screams "SERIOUSLY OLD GUY". Heck, I'm old enough to be a grandpa, and still wouldn't have them...lol

Sorry but I think you got the before and after pictures backwards. Just don't like black wheels with grey-it needs the pop that chrome, painted sliver or machine faced wheels give it. But hey if you like it then that's what matters.

There is no chrome or very little chrome on C-7's. More black accents and for most colors the black wheels really look great. Wheels are like colors, most folks have very different opinions. Get what you like and enjoy.!!!
