Get 'em. I have yellow on my Arctic White Z51. I get lots of compliments because they stand out, I think.

This stuff encroaches on Barbie Doll territory.

Okay, so I'm I'm the odd man out.

I have an Arctic White Stingray with black wheels. I have put red RimBlades on my black wheels and truth be told I prefer the stock silver calibers on my car. But what hell, that just my opinion.

May way of thinking is whatever make you happy is the way to go!

Yes with Black wheels or chrome, both are strikingly beautiful.

Red Calipers do offset black wheels quite well. PS: A close-up photo like this also illustrates how nice the stock black wheels are. So many photos are from a distance, and they lose detail. When you are closer to the car I am still really impressed that GM came up with such a great design.
