Grey makes your car look faster, and meaner....

I prefer the stock grey wheels on the Z06. My Z06 is red with the stock wheels. I just think the grey looks more purposeful and aggressive.

The grey makes the wheels always look like there covered in brake dust. I like the chrome.

I am not a fan of chrome wheels on a Z06. The painted wheels have more of a competition look, and the chrome wheels make it look like the car is just for show. You cannot beat the factory gray wheels, and I am keeping mine.

I keep saying the stock C5Z06 rims are some of the best OEM rims ever made. The color and design are very tasteful.

So my vote is the gray.
