I have a silver C5 Convertible and love black wheels. I’ve been looking at C7 Z06 wheels in black that I love but not sure if they’ll look as good as my chrome stock C5 wheels. What’s your opinion?

Buy what you like. I personally do not like Chrome wheels on Silver. I assume you have a black top? I think those C7 wheels on a silver car with a black top would be pretty damn sharp.
Also to be technical stock C5 wheels are not chrome. They are polished with a coating applied.

I’ve always been a huge fan of black wheels. I would love to see a pic of these C7 wheels on a C5! I’m sure they’ll look amazing.
Oh ok, that’s what I thought. They look great. Where is a good place to buy from at good prices not to get ripped off with quality and secondly are they painted or powder coated?

Black is far too over played and are for guys who don't like to keep any wheels clean.....
Chrome is far too old school and that look is too much with most vehicles....

Gun metal is much better looking than all black....

Personally I do not care for plain black wheels - it does nothing to bring attention to the wheel area. Chrome looks very good on silver. If you are set on that particular style wheel, I'd recommend chrome.
If you want something different, hypersilver, black chrome, comp gray, or even a custom color would look very good.
