Pewter is a really classy color and in my opinion look great with polished or chrome wheels, I may be a bit biased. lol
Black is just wrong. But it is your car.

Only exception would be if you went with chrome or high polished lip to the wheel with a black center. That does look pretty good on a pewter car.

Thanks guys. The car turned out exactly like I wanted. Everything is gm, other than the rear quarters. This is the way gm should have built the c5. The rear quarters really change the look, it's wider now than my Viper. I like the wide rearend, on my cars

Pewter black magnesium
Seems everyone to their own taste, and i can appreciate that. Personally i like my polished thin spokes <no chrome please> with pewter but i have a second set of wheels,magnesium, that if the look was positive then it may be worth the effort to plasti dip , red lip, and mount tires. Variety is the spice of life.........or so i've been told. Thanks gentlemen for comments and pictures.

Sorry for the old pics but, I've been running black chrome wheels on my pewter for several years and I think it looks great.
just another angle
I went w/ black and silver brakes just to be different
