Default Wheels......help!!!,
I want either c6 z06 all black or c6 z06 black dished with chrome lip/rivets. I have looked over hundreds of pictures. I see one with the dish and wanna pull the trigger then I see all black and change my mind. What do you guys think?? Any help would be appreciated and they will be in stock oem size.

Thanks nick

Just a thought, but how easy are those hundreds of rivets to clean. The thought has always scared me away.

Not difficult at all if you regularly clean the wheels. I could imagine it being a pita if the wheels were badly neglected.
