TIKTGTR, I think the black halo and black wheel combination looks great.
Its funny how the traditionalists versus the progressives express their opinions on this forum. "I hate black wheels" vs. "chrome wheels are for old farts". It just goes on and on. But why try to cheapen the black wheel look by comparing them to spares, or by saying black halos remind them of an old eclipse? This criticism to me is insulting.
Compare apples to apples. A black halo on a Corvette should be compared to a Corvette that comes that way from the factory. Plenty of Lamborghini's, Ferrari's and Porsche's are coming stock from the factory with black wheels. Would you call them spares too? I don't think so.
I'll leave you this picture in closing. Anyone who says this car doesn't look good is simply nuts or has bad taste.

I live in Summerville and
years ago had Jamison fix a rear bumper on my Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo. Awesome work. Will be taking the Vette in for some work.

David, Keri is awesome to deal with. He has done everything on my car from LT's,Paint,tune,troubleshoot blower,and RPM tranny. He may have a hood to install in his future too.

That's funny! I've been on the fence with black rims, I think is a pretty tough look, and I'm really feeling these wheels if I had the $, hoping to get 18x9.5 & 19x11 rear. sadly there are no run flats for that rear.

I like the black halo.....I guess thats the one thing Eclipse got right...ha!......the black wheels and wing are prob too bold for me to go there, but it looks fantastic as a complete theme for your car....head turner for sure...
