Default z06 with dark rims, which are the best

I have a black z06 09,
I am looking for a set of darker rims, Ideally spyders, in black, comp gray, or matt black.
Does any one have this set up? if yes, can you please post some pictures?
I am looking to add a front zr1 lip and side skirts from APR as well.

My cars red but I do have some spyders painted a custom color. Their a good bit darker than the oem comp grey. Maybe this will give you an idea on wheel color...

No, I rode in a guys Z named Clay few weeks back. He has that cam and I wanted something with a little better driveability. Sounded insane though. Ron said what he's putting in is a hair smaller than the annihilator. I saw that white Zr1 at caffeine n octane last week. Is it yours?

I have black wheels on my car, but on a black car I dont think you can go wrong with comp grey or black.

I must be old, cause I just can not get into black wheels on any vehicle, period. I do however like the dark grey / titanium color on darker cars. One of these days when I'm feeling impulsive, I will most likely buy a set HRE's. I knew that I was screwed when I saw these.....

They look fantastic but $7500 fantastic? That's tuff to swallow for any wheel IMO.
