Excellent upgrade. Seems like machine faced wheels are overlooked by the majority of the Corvette buyers, opting instead for the full black or full chrome.
Last year (2015 only about 1.2% or 297 of 34000) of all the Corvettes sold were ordered with machine faced wheels. For some who ordered the machine faced wheels, depending on the car color, LT package ordered and add ons, some could be driving a "1 of" car. (not that that means much in the grand scheme of things)
They look great! Although, I'm a little biased since I have them on my '16 TR. Great looking choice for those tired of chrome and not yet ready for all black.
Enjoy!

They are repros of course but I got 'em all for $975 and that included moving my tires and TPMs, balancing, etc. Oh yes, also he threw in black lug nuts to replace the stock chromes ones (including replacing my Gorilla locks)
This confirms something I've strongly suspected: my taste is impeccable and beyond refute. My innate sense of design is amazing, I can't believe I'm a mere human. Thanks for the additional evidence OP
