Honestly, the black wheels with the silver ring around them are (IMO) completely awesome on a Corvette, but I seem to be one of only a few who think that.

I like the C6 Z06 wheels but I really like the new wheels on the ZR-1.

These wheels done in Hyper Silver or Hyper black would look awesome

I like black wheels especially on the red cars. I don't know why but I think they look great on red. But between those two wheels I'd have to say the C6Z's looked better in my opinion.
