comp gray,although I think they looks pretty good, I am looking to trade my chrome QX3's for the QX1 comp grays. I simply love the comp gray rims!!

Default Competition Grey or Chrome Wheels

I am also in the same Dilema(relative to other problems I can use this as an Escape)...Hopefully I am going to order the 2010 ZR1 Next week when the order Guides are Released........When I was @ BG last weekend I was Fortunate enough to get a Picture of the Silver ZR1 with the Competition Grey Wheels and it looks Great...I wasn't Hesitating but I also like the New Torch Red which would also look Great with Chrome Wheels as would the Silver....My Hesitancy, is which would look better with the Blue Calipers?????? As I told Harlan last weekend a new Option of choices of Brake Caliper Colors would be a winner....Combine this with The engine Covers also..... As a side light, the Grand Sport will defintely eat into Sales of the Base Coupe and Convertibles...Harvey

comp grey does look good with DSOM, silver, white, but on darker colors chrome all the way. I do have chrome on my dsom.

I think Chrome is ok on cars that need some extra attention but with the Corvette that is not the case. IMO chrome makes people look away from the car's body are usually heavier and look dirty quick.
