I really like those. I want to see that color in blue (y'all know what I mean) on a black Corvette.

If someone described it to me I would say 'No' but after seeing it, I kinda like it. Looks good.

Looks really good with the black.The wheels would also look good in a black chrome or gloss black. Nice wheels!

I think the black car needs that subtle splash of color. Looks good. Black wheels just disappear.

Excellent. You stayed away from the cookie cutter all black out which is so yesterday.

I like it a lot !

If someone were to ask me ... How do you think red wheels would look on my black car, I would say that it would probably look like crap.

But the very dark "black cherry" like transparent color of these wheels really look very very nice on the OP's black Vette.

Nice job !

Great choice and awesome Corvette!

John,

Thanks for your repeat business! I think you made a fine choice, and I'm glad you stuck with that color.

spoiler...RPI carbon...fit is about 95% good...finish is about 90% good.

that was morning sunlight. afternoon sunlight they do pop a bit more. The flop in the blood red finish is awesome.
