The dealer from whom I bought my C6 last month only had cars with chrome wheels. I really didn't want them at first, preferring the stock powdercoated variety, but there was no choice. Buy one of their cars 35 miles away or from the next-nearest big Vette dealer 600 miles away.

Since then they've grown on me. I was concerned that this much bling against the background of a black car with almost no chrome at all would be too much and out of place. Not so, and I now think it was the best wheel option for this car. My friends all agree, BTW.

That's exactly what I'm thinking too. Since black wheels are fugly (deal with it black wheel lovers!), I am considering those when I wear out my tires and change out my GS wheels. I like the chrome, I'm just really in love with the thin 5 spoke at the moment. Perhaps they will grow on me since tires are new and it will probably be 3 years until I need tires and have an opportunity to change the wheels.
