On Pewter I'd go chrome.

This is really nice. I was thinking of something like this when I opened the thread.
Pewter is one of those colors that a lot of different options exist.
Until the op decides he can always try these to change things up. May not be a final solution but they definitely help the wagon wheels

When I bought my car it had polished thinspokes. I thought there was no contrast between the body color and the wheels. So I got Black C6 Z06 replicas with a polished lip. Gonna keep these for a while. Maybe one day I'll go back to chrome or polished aluminum if I find a wheel I really like.

I have to say, out of all the options, I think I like the OEM polished thin spokes the best. Seems like the best combo of looks / affordability. I love the look of black with polished lip also though...but I could probably find a stock set of OEM Y2K's a lot easier!

BBS LM's on mine but I do like the black with polished lip and rivets.

I have a set of the OEM polished thin spokes that I plan on selling when I get back from Bowling Green in 2 weeks. The wheels are like new condition not a ding or scratch on them. They come with 17" Goodyears on front and 18" Goodyears on the rear. Let me know if you are interested and I'll take some pics when i get back

These SR1's are the wheels I'm liking right now. They're new at West Coast Corvette, and I believe may include a 15% discount if you go through the forum link to their site. I think they'd look great on pewter.

I really liked the Grand Sport Wheels.. spent ages making a decision.
thought all chrome might be a bit much, black from a distance lose a bit of definition of the shape of the wheel.
so I went half and half!!

These look really good. I installed the Ace Slick Hyperblack wheels on my MSG vert which is similar to Pewter, so that's another idea...
