The orginal chromies will look the best on your Corvette in my opinion. I have them on my black Corvette and i dont think i will change them. Another set that looks really good is the Z06 replicas in chrome. I am not a fan of black wheels. Good luck.

I traded my oem painted silver rims for the oem painted comp grey rims.

I really like the comp grey on MS.

Watch low budget rims, workmanship can be suspect with build quality poor regarding.

Balancing can be problematic and all it takes in one out of the four for a headache.

Well I bought weld RTS wheel instead of going cheap. I just was wanting a picture of them on a clean MS vette before I put mine up.

Looks like a hefty rake angle too.

I know my rake is pretty close to 1 1/2 inches forward.

On stock rims.

This looks even more.

I think stock is closer to 1 inch. +/-
