I have a 2012 Velocity Yellow Coupe with Competition Gray wheels and love them. I think this wheel sets off most colors and is different from the pack of chrome wheeled Corvettes.

No, it's actually "Spider" wheels as per Chevrolet.com
"The Corvette Z06 10-spoke spider aluminum wheel in available Competition Gray".

i was never a comp gray or black wheel kinda person. i love chrome wheels but my GS is cyber gray with comp gray wheel and it has grown on me and I think it looks great. I will say though if you dont keep the tires shiny black the wheels lose the look and it makes the car all blend together which i dont like.

Butt.....another thing to consider is, what kind of wheels???
A good consideration might be ZR1 wheels.
I got Comp Grays for the ZR1, and I've been running the chrome ZR1 wheels on the Z06 on the track recently - and the Michelin PS2 ZP tires do a very good job on the street and the track!!
So far it looks like the ZR1 Michelins are going to last a lot longer than the Goodyears. I've got 20,000 miles on the ZR1 - half with the chromes, and half with the Comp Grays. At 10,000 miles the Michelins still look almost new. At that mileage the Goodyears were about shot.
The 19"/20" ZR1 wheels will bolt right on to a Z06 or GS, and I think they look great:
Even though the ZR1 wheels are larger, the tires are lower profile and the diameters of the tires are virtually identical to your GS tires - so there won't be any difference in speedometer readings at all.
So....if you like the ZR1 wheels, they'll bolt right on to your GS.
