Default Lemans Blue w/ comp gray wheels

Can anyone send me a few good pics of a Lemans Blue Coupe with competition gray wheels - trying to decide between comp gray or polished alum. Any opinions?

Thanks

Black chrome is the way to go on LMB.

It's really hard to tell the difference between "black chrome" and "chrome" on pictures -- what is the difference in person? And, is black chrome the same as hyper black?

Check out the Winter 2006 issue of Corvette Quarterly for beutiful pics (in one of the main articles) of a Lemans Blue Z06 with Comp Grey Wheels. I would never have considered lemans blue until I saw those pics. Very nice.

As for black chrome - I shot some great pics of a yellow z06 in the caravaggio booth at the 06 carlisle event which had black chrome (z06) wheels - very nice.

email me and I will send them to you - josh.blackmun@4telecomhelp.com

This is a pic. of forum member Corvette Junkies' car with the replica C6 Z06 rims in Comp Gray. I think this combo looks great on LeMans Blue.

That's the exterior color combo I want for my future C6. For the interior, I'll stick w/ basic black.

I have an 07 LBM with chrome wheels. The wheels really set the car off and I have had numerous compliments re the wheels. Some from other Corvette owners, one who had the polished aluminum.

Irony is that I ordered the polished aluminum on it. It was built the end of July and at the time the polished aluminum were not available so they put on the chrome wheels. I should send a thank you note!
