I'm liking the Cyber Grey. Do the grey rims look good on it in person, or do you find yourself wishing sometimes you had gone chrome?
Do the grey rims on the Z06 compliment it, or are they are shade or two "off" of what they should be in your opinion? Do the two greys play well togather, basically?
Saw a few of these around town and love the color-scheme in person.

I think the CG wheels and Cyber Grey look even better in person than in pictures.
Although I voted for this combo ^^^, they look great with every color I've seen...

The Cyber Gray is nice because all cars are going to get SOME rock-chips if you actually drive them. As I understand it, the undercoat on these is dark grey. It won't be nearly as bad as something like Yellow, Torch Red, or Arctic white/Blade Silver when it gets a few chips in it. Will blend in much better and take longer to need a touch-up.
Aside from that, it LOOKS good, too. I am thinking upkeep/functionality as well as looks, though, and CG+comp-grey rims looks like the way to go from both stand-points.
This coupled with the black/red interior should look awesome.

I'm slightly biased as I think they look the best on cyber grey followed closely by black. Competition grey is a shade lighter than cyber grey when they are nice and clean.

For some reason, to me, the grey wheels on the dark cars just makes the wheels look dirty and "dulls" the appearance of the car.
The grey wheels on the lighter colors - red, JSB etc., have enough contrast to look more "right".
Probably not explaining it well. . . .

EXACTLY! On lighter colored cars, the wheels make the color of the car pop more and in turn make the wheels stand out as well. When the color of the car is darker then the wheels it just doesnt look right.
