Congrats, not everything has to be chromed. I don't need to be hit in the face with bling to appreciate something.

Those are the only C6 wheels I think look good. Nice job and like the choice of finish.

I agree but I wish there was a way around the "2 tone" rotor look as a result of a small brake pad contacting a big rotor

That car looks like it's still on jacks. It needs to be lowered.
