New Look Wheels
I got a little bored with my all chrome N/C Forged wheels so I had them taken apart, the chrome stripped off of the centers and then Gloss Black powder coated. The difference is amazing. Comments please.

I like the black and am considering black wheels for my coupe.
You do seem to loose the definition of the multispoke wheels on the black vs the chrome rims. This may just be the photographs and they may look different in person.

Vinny I think both look great! just keep in mind that most people on the forum especially on the C6 forum are 50+ years old lol. So they would never like the black before chrome. I think depending on ages you'll have younger people like the black more then older. I went through this with my yellow car :-)
What sizes are they, they look incredible!!!
