What color rims would go good with this Grand Sport?
Might plasti-dip, but not sure what color, or maybe I should just keep the chrome. I think black would be too much of a contrast, maybe a light or dark grey?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Check out Superwrap's products. I've only seen their video as the product is still pretty new, but it looks pretty promising. Essentially, it's a sprayable vinyl that comes in a variety of color options and maybe more durable than plasti-dip? Might be worth it!

I may be wrong, but the OP's GS looks to be Supersonic Blue.
Just so you have an idea as to what Comp Gray wheels look like on a Supersonic Blue GS ... Here is my car >

Turn purple ?
My Comp Gray wheels have been on my car since it was new in 2011 (7 years) ... Certainly have not turned purple

The spyder ones that came new on my 09z started to turn a purpleish color after about 5 years, this year i finally had them powdercoated black. I actually like the black better on cyber, so i'm glad they started to fade. Ive seen other spyder grey ones do the same thing on other cars Ive seen. Maybe they had a bad batch?
I think comp grey would look perfect on the gs in the first post because of the top.

I'd stay with Chrome myself.

chrome or polished aluminum on metallic colors is my choice. while the comp grey does looks good, my preference is for more contrast.
but as always, please make your decision on what you find attractive. nothing worse than spending $$$, only to be disappointed. find a local corvette club and see what styles suit your taste. it's also good for those looking for a new exhaust (cheap way of "ear" testing them).
good luck!

That is a beautiful looking car that I think looks classy and very attractive "As Is" I think that even something like contrasting color painted brake calipers would take from the look of the complete package rather than add to it. Just my opinion.

Comp gray on the previous pics looks good! Or polished. I don't hate black wheels in general, but I don't like them with your color.
