Supersonic wheel decision
Hello;
My first and most critical post; I need a little advice.
I pick up my 2011 supersonic blue GS mon mourning and I have can get it with the std or the grey wheels. Are the greys better with that color??
I have seen cybers and silver with grey and that work well together.
Any and all ideas about the blue combo is really needed. I woke up this mourning at 5:00 AM convulsing over this question. Please help.
thanks

Either would look great but I would like the contrast of the Silver ones slightly better.
With the Grey ones they don't match like Grey on Cyber Grey and the don't quite contrast like the Grey on Silver/Black/Red does.
Grey is similar in shade an brightness to the SSB but don't quite match if you know what I am saying.
I think Grey would look good on any Corvette but I like Silver slightly better on SSB. JMO

I like the standard, brings a bit more out of the understated Blue in my opinion. The Gray offers no contrast and kind of just blends in, I think you need a bit of contrast so it is the standard for me.

Some on here may be able to Photoshop your SSB car with the different wheels. Right now I believe the Standard wheel would look the best with your SSB due to the added contrast between body color and the wheel color, providing a set of custom wheels is not an option.

My vote: Get the wheels that come std from the factory.
Looks aside, my paranoia conjures all kinds of problems from dealer-swapped wheels, including but not limited to: incompetent Technicians, damaged rocker panels, scratched wheels, old TPM sensors, tinnerman nut issues, wheels not balanced, extra work delays delivery...
And how is it that the dealer has an extra set of gray wheels? Maybe a previous customer didn't like them 'cause they're ugly. Or maybe there is something wrong with them.
Anyway, regardless of which wheels you get, I suspect you'll want to change them soon enough.
Enjoy your new ride!
