New Wheels & Carbon Fiber Pieces

Hey guys, I just installed new black w machined faces reproduction ZR1 wheels that i got from Corvette Wheels. The chrome was too much for me with my color of Blade Silver. I did not want all black wheels because i thought it would look too bland, i think these loog good, what do you think?
Also installed Apsis Carbon Fiber center console, speedo corners, door handles, front and rear side vents, hood scoop and rear diffusser. These products really compliment the OE carbon.

I am only seeing one picture that does not show the CF pieces you have added.

All things considered I think you have picked one of the two best colors available for a ZR1 . Personally I had thought of a wheel in a black chrome but with a few more spokes......... however wheels are personal and IMO it is the owners choice that matters.

Congratulations on owning a great car.......... looking forward to seeing your CF pieces

I love the carbon fiber pieces, especially against the Blade Silver.

I must say however, I think you missed an oppurtunity to really set your car apart with those cheap replica wheels

I hear you but there are very limited wheels in ZR1 sizes plus you are talking $5K for a set. If they come out with something i really like that is a one pieca forged wheel I will buy a set reguardless of $$$

Are the repo wheels forged?

No, and I'm not planning on going over 90mph, when they come out with some good looking forged wheels in the correct sizes I will buy them. So far nothing I've seen turns my crank!

The carbon fiber pieces are beautiful and the wheels are fugly. Sorry, have to call it like I see it. Overall, the car is sweet, go back to the stock wheels that you are keeping.....just my 2 cents.
