On the yellow vert w/black wheels...Absolutely gorgeous car, I think the color combo is stunning! It says, I'm beautiful, I'm bad, and look at me. To me, the Corvette is such a personal car, there's something for every taste, I prefer to modify, make it my own, as bad a$$ as I can, and put the miles on it enjoying it as much as I can. My C3 was a garage queen, but no more. As I get older and see some friends pass away or become ill or disabled, I realize how precious each day is and it's ony a car, so I'm going to drive it like I stole it.

I've got black wheels now, saw your photo, and decided that's the look for my alternate set. It really changes the look of the car.

Holy $&!t my hubcaps fell off!
I actually saw a Velocity Yellow in person at Bloomington Gold & totally discounted it as ugly.... Black Rims & Black Spoiler... Guess what... I own a Velocity Yellow Vette. Chrome wheels & Z51 body colored spoiler make all the difference for my taste....

I love it when I hear "Black wheels are here to stay!". Isn't what they said in the 80's with that dopey "talking car" show?
As I mentioned to a salesman at our local Chevy dealer, "The only advantage black wheels give you is that at night it looks like someone already stole your wheels."

Does Lamborghini come with a chrome wheel option, how about Ferrari or Koenigsegg?

Lambos have lots of wheel options, including polished alloys, but they do not offer chrome.
I personally like the look of beautiful alloy finished with some kind of satin clear for protection. Aluminum and other light metal alloy looks beautiful to me.
