Black car with gold wheels?

Looked and wasn't finding. Wondering if anyone can post pics of a Black coupe or Z06/FRC with Gold wheels (preferrably gold speedlines/alcoa Z06 wheels) - Curious about a new look for my car.

That is most likely going to be a hard find. If you are that interested, maybe one of the photoshopers could do one for you.

You guys really should consider being a tad more open minded. I've noticed that on these forums, you get bashed if it's not conventional, or OEM. It's hilarious.

My next car (C6Z) will be black with gold wheels.

Too early in the morning for you to take a joke? We're all adults here; maybe you should consider easing up a bit and accept things in the manner intended: good-natured rib-poking.

Believe me, if I want to ridicule someone there will be absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind what my intentions are.

I have always thought that the magnesium wheels looked best on a black car and while not gold they are in that color family.

I get the smokey and the bandit ref.

I'll also say... Honda-tech, really? - Dude, ever hear the golden rule? Don't post in a thread if you're not helping out - and you're not. Feel free to exit the thread.

Not sure, open to either. That was part of the idea for the thread, wanted to see what was out there.

And honestly, agreed... I like LS1tech a lot more for most stuff since CF (Especially the C5 General forum) seems to be a bunch of narrow-minded people who care about spending hundreds of dollars on painted fuel rail covers. I don't care for that stuff (hell I have a FAST 102 and LS2 rails, so I don't even have FR covers because they don't fit), but I don't come in here ragging on it either. Just food for thought

For the record, I thought the smokey and the bandit thing was funny, and chuckled.
The Honda-tech comment... that I think was useless and un-funny.

If it's the right style wheel and the right color "gold" I think it could work. Can't be some crappy yellow-gold color. Check out these HRE's on a blue ZR1. I bet those would look sharp on a black car. More of a dark gold / magnesium color.

I like the look of those, the wheel itself and the color.
Would probably look good on a C5 in black

Well I love HPDE/Track days so I'm down for that.
Are there any local road courses? We're lucky enough in the northeast here to have 4-5 courses all within 2-3 hours.
