I like the chrome on my coupe, and I have a set of the MotorSports (black centers with machine polished rim) on their way for my Z06. :D

Just bought a spare set of Z06 rims to play with - will try black powdercoat with polished lip for my silver coupe.
btw, yours look great! How did you do the center caps?

My preferences are somewhat determined by the color of the Z06. I think the machined look great and there are numerous manufacturers' wheels in various finishes that are super.
On silver I like black powder coated or black anodized, but there are also many others that are super. I am anxious to see the iForged, plus new wheels are being introduced by Supporting Vendors every month.
Any wheels on a Z06 are beautiful. :chevy :flag :chevy

Re: Z06 rim poll (alexWS6)
i like the stock style, but finish depends on the car color for me. for black i like chrome wheels. but if i had a yellow or silver z i would probably go with black powder coat.

If I ever go the non-factory "look" I'll go either with OE machined (Panther's, Vancouver, BC) or pull the plug with a full-on aftermarket like Kinesis or HRE.

How much does the machining process cost? I like it but would probably put the dough towards a set of HRE's. Neat idea though but unless you lived in Vancouver shipping would make process too expensive.
