Silver or Grey wheels?
Anyone have pictures of the competition grey wheels on a crystal red car? My order locks down tomorrow and I'm still cycling between painted silver and painted grey split spokes.

Just about any wheel looks great on the Corvette so it all comes down to personal preference. I love the comp grey because they dont' draw as much attention to the wheels, instead it goes to the car. Chrome wheels are a $1800 option, car costs about $50k. I much rather they look at the car.

Sorry I don't have pictures of either combo. The competition gray wheels are a knockout, especially with CRM. Imagine that combo with the ebony / titanium interior (3LT with or without the 2-tone seats or 4LT).
I know it's strictly a matter of personal taste, but I also really like the polished (not chrome) wheels with CRM.

Thanks all--tomorrow's last chance for changes
I ordered a 2010 4LT vert, crystal red/black top/dk titanium leather wrap. (Also NPP/F55/A6--not sure how, but I talked myself out of the stick, after reading a bunch of threads here.) I really wanted the polished wheels but they discontinued for 2010. Don't like the chrome so I'm making the choice between silver and dk grey. I'm thinking I may be able to pick up a set of lightly used polished wheels eventually--saw a set on the board last week, but I wanted to wait until I have the car.

Polished wheels aren't available for 2010? I didn't know that. It seems a shame.

I like mine because they hide the brake dust well. (Click on My Corvette Photos)
