Here is a shot of my chrome Z51 wheels. To me, they really add real class and sex appeal to a Torch Red C7.

anyone know where i can get pictures of all the new 2015 wheel options along with the rest of the existing options?

i want a black set of machines, matte, so i'm hoping the machined wheels are the right look.

Still wishing they'd offered carbon flash or something with some character to it instead of 'just black' finish. The chrome does not go well with the car as a whole, too 'retro / old fart / waxer' for something as sleek and mean as the c7. The silver wheels don't bling the car out too much, and they're what I opted for til I figure out whether I want to get them done in carbon flash.
