Default Help on wheels for a White C5! please!

I have just recently bought my first Corvette its a 04 White C5. It has the Chrome C5 Zr1 wheels on it i believe is what they are. I'm wondering if anybody has any pics of a White C5 with Black c6 wheels or the black zo6 wheels from a C5 on their car or if someone could photoshop them for me that would be great! thanks for the help!

Just my opinion, but chrome wheels look good on any color car. No such thing as chrome C5 ZR1 wheels, so not sure what you really have on the car now. There have been a lot of threads that discuss black wheels on the car - try doing a search and you should come up with some pics.

In fact, here are several links you can look through:

Many more examples out there.

These are my old 19" chrome wheels. I have new 19/20 chrome wheels that are similar. I've also added C6 Z06 brakes.

I looked at the forums, and have decided that maybe black isnt the way to go. What about gray? That white C5 a couple comments above with the gray rims looks great!

not a fan of chrome, but polished and gunmetal look really good. I would say black wheels are "eh" as I'm not a fan, but white C5's look good with black wheels.

No, but there's a big difference in the time that you spend trying to keep them looking nice.
