Default Excuses, excuses . . .

Bit of an extreme angle and lighting change (he said whining) but here's a quick effort.

Default I dunno . . .

This angle and the image behind the wheel raises its own challenges. And I can't make the unwanted stuff see thru, you would see the Z06 wheels.

Send me photos of the brake caliper, rotor, wheel, and 5 lug nuts and call me in the morning. BTW nice Camry in the background.

Hopefully this is useful in making a decision.

your still too high get a low angle like that of the vette.. you need to match the same perspective if you want the photoshop to look good...

It can be done in PS, but to do it perfectly would take 8-10 hours, not the 8-10 minutes I'm throwing at it.

Unfortunately, I don't have any better pics of the rims. I've seen quite a few C5's with the C6 Z06 wheels on them and think they look really good, but haven't seen any with the black chrome finish. Was thinking about the hyperblack/hypersilver color and then I came across these...

Not a perfect job, but does give you some idea of what the wheels would look like on your ride!

Why photochop when you can see them on the same car.

gary - EB is my favorite color too - I looked for quite a while to find this one. an '03 with only 2600 miles on it. Is that a roof from a C6 in the trash can for your avatar? I love it.

geezer - thanks for the photochop. any way to tint the color of the wheels to more of a black chrome?

zilla - I've seen that pic before, the wheels look great, but I was more interested in the color - black chrome

This was not entirely successful, but will give you a bit of an ideal of what the black chrome might look like.
