Both look good, slight edge to chrome.

Not the chrome. Where the spokes of the gray wheels meet the rim is almost like a blade of a sword. Everyone wants to be shiny.

Also, get rid of the GM marker in front of the rear tires.

Between the two....chromes. Never have cared for that style in the comp gray.

I always thought that chrome rims were gaudy (even more so when I saw GM wanted $2k for that option), but the 5 spoke chromes look great on a C6 so that's what I'd go with.

I pretty much agree. I don't know if I'd go as for as gaudy, but a little too much bling for my tastes. And then for GM to charge $2K? I was lucky enough to find the, year, sub model and ext./int. color combo with the silver painted alum wheels (which I would have put on anyway).

The comp gray style in chrome look better than those flat front spokes.

Chrome or high polished aluminum. The bling makes the JSB pop.

Another vote for the chrome wheels! Maybe I'm just an old foagie, but the blacked out wheel look just doesn't do it for me.

Yeah me too, thats why all us old Harley guys have tattoos. I'll take off my chicklets off when I get Lloyds mats with the logo on them, no more tattoos.

I’m old school, so chrome gets my vote.
