Default Competition grey alloy wheels

Does anyone have a good picture of the competition gray alloy wheels? I will be ordering a GS and my wife likes the cyber gray. I like the color too and I'm wondering how that combination will look on the car or would the chrome look better. I've looked through a lot of posts at this point but haven't seen anything that would tell me what this option looks like.

I just got a 2010 Cyber Gray and I thought the Competition Gray wheels were a little too much grey. I thought the stock silver ones looked really good. There is a recent post of a Cyber Grey Grand Sport with the stock silver wheels. Check it out if you haven't already done that.

Depends on what you like..this... or this..

I will say that you'll be cleaning your chrome wheels every day because of brake dust.Not so with the COMP GRAY's.

ncvette, that's exactly what I was wondering. One of the reviews I read suggested the gray wheels would look good on either the white or silver cars.
08crm, unfortunately I have only seen one GS, the dealership had it in the cyber gray with the chrome wheels. I thought that combination looked really good, but I'll echo your comments by saying I had the same concern. Cleaning wheels isn't my favorite detailing activity although it's always worth the effort.
Thanks for the responses.

Obviously not a GS, but here is my 2009 Cyber Gray with competition grey wheels.

Here's a pic of the GS comp gray wheels on my black car - I really like the look.

I just orderered a yellow vert with the comp grey wheels. Didn't care much for the GS chromes. If you go to Les Stanford's site on the new dealer inventory, they have a cyber grey vert w/ the comp grey wheels and pictures of it. To your point I thought it was too much grey for my liking. PS I ordered mine through MacMulin at GMS pricing.
Good Luck

that's macmulkin chev. btw. (just so op can find them). as to competition gray wheels so you don't have to clean them as much, there is an alternative: change the brake pads to something that either dusts very little or dusts a little but still has good stopping power (I did). it is far less than the cost of wheels. just a thought.

Comp Grey against AO (you won't find many with this combo, I'm told less than 50 were ordered like this)


Hides brake dust nice. If the GS has the same pads as the Z06 you'll appreciate that. The dust is HORRIBLE.

I think the competition gray wheels and cyber gray is a great combination
