It is really hard to tell in pictures the difference between the chrome and black chrome. They are definitely darker than chrome, but not by a huge margin. The pockets are where it is really noticeable.

I'd really like to see a set of these in person someday. The photo doesn't seem like it does it justice. I suspect they would look better in person.

You are 100% correct. You have to see them in person.

Those look great!

I have black chrome on my black C6, and yours may appear a little lighter in the photos due to the red body color and bright sunshine?

Those who question "how much darker they are than chrome, and check out photos in my profile area.

Remember that extremely long (stupid) thread arguing chrome vs . black wheels. You could have posted "I have both!"

Awesome look. Many C7 owners have been attracted to these Z06 Reproduction wheels.

My neighbor just went from the base 2016 Stingray 18 & 19" to the 19 & 20" Chrome Z06 Style and made a huge difference in the appearence of his Corvette.

I ditched my chrome Z51 Chrome wheels for a set of these, and could not be happier.

Golddog: Your C7 looks great..
