Keep what you have or spring for chrome Z06 wheels. Painted wheels make most people yawn.

My sentiments exactly. Some find it hard to accept that GM got it right!! And keep trying to find something better. The grass is always greener on the other side.

I like the polished 5 spokes on your car. My Vette is Pewter and I just switched to chrome 5 spokes from the stock painted wheels. I am not sure I will stick with them though, might be a little too much bling. If I do switch it will be to polished wheels.

Your stock chrome's look better than stock Z06 wheels IMO.
I think the nicest wheels I have ever seen are (19s front, 20s rear) black Z06's with polished chrome lip. GORGEOUS!
I wish I had a pic to show you!

Same here. I like painted wheels better than polished, and the painted Z06 wheels look great.
