KDubb:

I am a HUGE fan of black wheels so I say paint them black, but dont leave the stock color on the lip. Get the lip polished or machined. I will be doing this to my wheels probably over the winter or next spring.

I like the black ones. Heck, I wish the stock ones on the Z06's were black. But that's the way the ball bounces. Question though. I lowered my Z06 and didn't seem to get the front as low as you have, what did you do or did you do anything different other than tighten up the bolts?

IMHO: I like the silver ( stock ), the powder coat might look better if it was semi-gloss of high-gloss. FWIW, I think that the black is too flat black.

I'm not a huge fan of painted rims, but on your car, it would work. To hell with what we all think - do what you like and enjoy it!

I'm not a big fan of black wheels, but at least you wouldn't have to clean them as often.

And as for black wheels on the white Z - GO FOR IT!

That looks very sinister...
