That's actually kind of cool. It'd surely be annoying to other drivers in the sun.
Better than random chrome trim on a stock car.

There is a guy local with a C6 exactly like that one. I see him several mornings on the way to work. It sucks when he is coming towards me with the morning sun reflecting off.

Looks like the Forgiato logo. Maybe they are the AGGIO-B wheel?

Yes that IS weird. But I've read that the newest fad will be FLAT paint jobs?!? I remember back in my high school days, right after the ice melted, guys riding around with primered cars. Never thought I'd see that come back.

The next color to come out will be FLAT CHROME! lol :P

I actually don't mind it in pics, and wouldn't mind it for a car that I barely drove. For anything that sees the road more than once a week, it's too much chrome. I would autocross it!
