Default Mags on a White Vette?

Bought the car with the Chrome Z06 wheels however they do not have the sensors and the rear is non-runflat. They are also 18" all around and the fronts are not the proper size which in turn activates the TCS. I like the magnesium wheels however I'm not sure how they will look on a white vert:

Hope you don't mind I borrowed the pic. Your car is the one that turned me on to the wheel on a white vette. Classy, less pimpy

Hope you like the Mags. They are very light and will definately feel a difference. I loved them, especially for the track. I did the chromies later on but always loved the feel of the mags!

Good Luck

The magnesium wheels look good on a white car. If you can find a mint set for a good price, go for it.
