Very nice...although I'm one of a few here who actually like the wagon wheels...but I don't like them enough to keep them on my Vette either. I made the change to new rims as well a short while ago CHeers, Indy.

Dude hell yea you just saved me a photoshop. Those wheels were at the top of my list and I also have a pewter coupe(no BSMs though ). They look great, they would be beyond amazing with a slightly larger lip. It's either these or I saw some black C6ZR1 replicas that might not be bad either, can't decide

It looks much better. Next time you have your wheels off, paint your brake rotors with flat black. It will make the wheels stand out even more.
