Another forum member had posted her 14 silver vert with painted silver wheels then with the chrome wheels. The difference was dramatic because the painted wheels blended with the car as compared to the chrome that contrasted against the silver. I have painted silver on Cyber Gray and like it. But on silver, a color I seriously considered buying, I would want chrome. I'm not into the blackout look, but it actually looks better on silver than painted silver wheels IMHO.

I debated on this as well and decided the painted Z51 wheels looked the best to me with BS. I prefer the chrome on virtually all the other colors particularly dark colors.
I think a painted or powder coated gunmetal would also look good with BS like this one
as i plan and dream about my c7 coupe purchase, would like the forum members input on wheel choice. I have decided to purchase a blade silver coupe with the 3lt z51 package. Having trouble deciding on the chrome or silver painted wheels.
My current c6 is silver with chrome wheels. I like the looks and design of both of the silver painted and chrome wheels included with the z51 package.
What are your thoughts both pros and cons of each choice?
I debated on chrome or silver but got the silver because the wheel could be repaired a lot easier than chrome if I scraped the rim.
Chrome all the way!! My chrome wheels are much better at rejecting dust than the polished wheels on my C5 or the painted wheels on my Silverado. I dust my chrome every few days with a soft bristled paint brush and they clean up just as new. I would not have any wheels that were not chrome!!
Highly Polished MotorSport wheels, part of the Twilight Blue Design Package. This can be ordered separately. There are a few threads on the Forum that will lead you to a good price.
BTW, I had chrome on my 2013 Grand Sport, Night Race Blue metallic. I like these better
My C7 is blade silver with chrome factory wheel. Beautiful combination and the chrome withstands a lot of punishment. I also had the chrome wheels on my 2001 and after 13 years there was nary a blemish. My personal opinion is that the silver wheels don't compliment the blade silver as much as one might think.
