I really like the black wheels with the chrome/silver rims. The others just seem to disappear and you really can't see them.

Also like the black wheels with a stripe on them.

Just saying.

Personally, I can't picture putting black wheels on my car, but there are some absolutely stunning cars in this post.

Can you tell me what wheel/tire combination you are using? Did all the extra's like side skirt, rear spoiler, and blackout kit come from Corvette Creationz?

I've had it in my head for many years that black wheels make it look like you're driving on steelies.
But a polished/painted lip or painted rotor hub or calipers helps.
