Default Need some quick wheel advice!!

Thinking about buying the z06 spyder wheels in black for my c6. They are c6 size and in great shape. Im meeting the guy to pic up in about an hour so I need some input on how it will look. I have an 05 DSOM. Just upgrading to some newer wheels because the have some scratches and the clearcoat around the silver part is coming off.

Heres a pic of the wheels and my car. Yes or no?

Yes!! Go for it! I love those wheels!! My old wheels(same as yours) are in the same shape. I was thinking about Black until I saw Black Chrome...



I could take either if the price is right?

Lol yeah I just hope they look good with all that black. Im going to see about some sort of pinstripe in DSOM and I think that might really look good. Wonder how much I can get for my old wheels? Guess I'll try selling them here 1st. Or on craigslist in Houston. Thanks for the advice! You have to get some now too so we can continue to match!!!
