Default **Black Wheels on Millenium Yellow**

I've been tossing the idea around on getting some Black ZO6 Wheels with the polished lips for my MY C5. Just wondering if they would look good on my car. Give me your honest opinions. Please post pics of your black wheels too! If you have a set of black zo6 wheels with the polished lips that your looking to sell cheap please email me. Thanks for looking.

Here's a picture of my C5



Thanks,
Derek

Black with polished lip wheels on a Mil Yellow car would look sweet. It is a really nice combination.

Black=racecar. Chrome=bling bling ya'll.

Just my opinion, but chrome has no place on a Vette. Leave chrome for the suv's on dubs yo.

In the spirit on giving an honest opinion, as you had asked for, I think a black rim with a polished lip looks good on MY. I think a black rim with no polished lip looks like ***.
That being said, as far as the style, I have seen a few real sweet black/MY combo here, but I would re-consider your choice of the Z06 rim. Whether its the C5 or C6 Z06 rim, I personally think you can choose a much more astetically pleasing rim.
..........just one man's opinion.

Yeah I agree with you, a all black wheel to me doesn't look the best, the polished lip really adds alot in my opinion. I would love to have some HRE's, CCW's etc but I'm not sure I'm gonna like the black look that's why I'm looking for a set of Black ZO6's......they are pretty easy on the wallet

I know it's not the best, but it'll give you an idea.
