Default Time for new wheels

OK. I've had my '02 ZO6 for two years now. I really need to do something with the wheels. It's a yellow Z and I prefer to stay with a darker wheel, but not black. I like the ZR1 style 'black chrome' wheel. Would anyone have pics of this wheel on a yellow ZO6?

The wheels look great. They are the black chrome as I can tell from the angle? What wheel size are you running?

Personally...I'm powdercoating the stockers signal black (like the darkest grey out there) - not including the cost to break the bead & remove/reinstall/rebalance the tires (which shouldn't be more than $100) it will cost me $300 and some of my own effort/time to get it jacked up and remove the wheels.

Mostly because I have tires that fit the stock wheels w/ only about 5-6000 miles on them, and because I still like the look of the stock wheels and the lightness factor.

You should look into forgestar f14s. They have a dark gunmetal color and they would look great on a yellow Z

Here they are on my car but I have a metallic silver finish..
