Maybe not bad ***, just bad!
Actually, they look good on all colors - everyone who sees them say that they are very diiferent and preferable to the "normal" wheels.

JMO - I like them for their racy look and their rareness. For every 10 polished wheel vette there is one comp grey. Thanks for the pics.
Got me to change my order from pol to comp. Saved 1000 bucks too. Really looks slick w white, the contrast.

That is the main reason I wanted this option because it hides the brake dust better. Let me know if this is true and confirm with me
tHE COMP'S hide the dust all day,every day!!I don't even see it till I wash the car and all that stuff comes running off!

I am very happy with mine. And I have to agree that they look better in person than in pictures.

On a Victory Red car they looked TOO racey for me, I'd need to wear Nomex just for the drive to work. Traded my standard painted for polished.
Fortunately, there really isn't a right or wrong answer here, just whatever pleases YOU.

I love the comp gray wheels.
Here's a very high res pic of them on my DSOM. Not posting the pic here because it's 3000x2000.

They also look great with the steel grey interior.
