Default Installed C7 Z51 chromes today on LMB C6

I got my new wheels today installed. C7 Z51 Chromes. I like the look. Was wondering what everyone thinks about the plain center caps ?? I seen somewhere where later model C6 center caps will fit C7 wheels. And also wondered what everyone thinks about calipers being blue. Would it offset car color better to have yellow or red calipers ??? Will be posting my old chromes for sale once i get them cleaned up and get some time take some pictures.

Did the same swap last spring on my 06 velocity yellow coup. It's a huge improvement over the polished 5 spokes that was on it.

Love the wheels! The other bling and badges not so much.

I put these on mine. http://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=2065
They are very good quality and holding up great. I really like that are domed. I think the rims looked off without them.
Nice looking rims. I'm old I still like chrome.

I may be a little biased, but I like the calipers matching the car.

Way too much chrome on the car for my taste. Also, the calipers wouldn't look bad if the blue matched the car color, but I think maybe a contrasting color might be the way to go.

I'm much older and like my gloss black Z51 replicas a lot better. Rather than decals I got the C6 GM caps.
