Love the wheels.

I would have went with a dark/medium grey. I would want to be able to see those beauties, but I understand that black is the trend now days.

My favorite wheel for the C6. Is that a Grand Sport or Z06? AW is my favorite color too.

Did you use the OEM tires or buy new ones? If so, what size / brand / etc?

I lightened your photos, and added some additional resolution, to help highlight the wheels.
They can be seen more clearly now.

Thanks Rob! That will be next on my list. Also debating on painting calipers red. CF10's will look awesome on your car!
