I dont want a busy look, I personally like clean and simple. My car is red and I think the black centers would look killer.

If you want to see a pic, click on "my Corvette pictures" - let me know what you think.

On a red Vette, I'd consider the iForged Aero's, Sprints, Flux's, or Seneka's in a BBS gold powdercoat colored finish. I would also consider a simple 5 or 6 spoke design in a flat gray finish. I remember how cool the C3's & C4's used to look with the BBS wheels and to do a contemporary iteration of that using a high quality forged wheel witha reverse dropped lip would be killer IMO.

Curious, between the CCW's, IForged, HRE's and Z06 wheels, which are the lightest?

This is a Kinesis K28. Looks very busy, and when I first put it on, I got dizzy looking at the combination. With all the stickers and huge spoiler I put on the car, it now looks okay. Just kidding about the stickers and spoiler.

I have to admit that the busy look has grown on me. Whenever I put the stock wheels back on, it doesn't look like "my car". I got the black center just so that the Baer Eradispeeds would visually pop out more.

Thanks for all your posts. I like the combos I see here so much that I dont think I'll go wrong with any I have in mind. However, the deciding factor will be weight savings, any clue to what these things weigh? Should I stick to 18 front and 19 rear to save a bit of lbs.?

Thanks
