C7 Base Wheels
Hey, here's a thought. With enough negative press, maybe in a year or two GM will smarten up, get rid of those incredibly FUGLY wheels on the base C7, and replace them with something better?
FUGLY!!!
BETTER!!

I have chrome base wheels and I love them. Can't tell you how many people tell me how much they like them and don't like the black wheels. Like the previous post says beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Good question, although I replaced the split spoke wheels with as you put it; the horrible starfish wheels for two reasons: easier to clean and I prefer the simpler look.

Z51 wheels for me. More modern than the starfish and still not too complicated. I've had simple to complex and there is something about the right balance that if you find that balance, all is right with the world. Z51 wheels look close enough to that for now, then when I want to up grade the look i two years I will find something that fits the look and feel I want.
