-2LT Z51 Torch Red Coupe
-Standard Silver Z51 Wheels
-Red Painted Brake Calipers
-Carbon Flash Mirrors/Spoiler

Yea haha, I think this build is the one though. I thought black wheels would look good but I've had gray/black wheels in the past and I think silver wheels would look better.

I just put silver HREs on my TR Z51 2LT. Would that help you? I like it a lot!

With the CF hood vents, deck vents, ect, the Black wheels really tie in well. Then add CF splitter and skirts and it POPS. However, I did see the new Pearl Nickel Aluminum wheels in person on the new Z06 and they were stunning. Either way, the TR serves this car very well:

Sometimes depends on the color choice. Dark exterior color, I prefer Chrome/Silver. Lighter colors, Black can work well. Here was my last car, loved the Chrome Spyders...

I used to hate the look of black wheel but the contrast has grown on me actually ordering a shark gray Z51 with the black rims.
