Chrome or Machined Finish on Silver Z51
#21
On any other color than silver, I think I prefer your style, machined / gray. The dark accents make the wheels look larger & spokes look thinner and it draws more attention to the large brakes / rotors. On just blade silver though, I think I slightly prefer the silver inserts just because it matches the paint so well.

My car isn't a C7, but I have a blade silver C6 ZR1. The wheels are OEM cup wheels with machined face & silver on the pockets. They really pop in the sun and the silver accents match the blade silver well. I've since added clear corners to the car but don't have a good photo. They really look clean on blade silver as well.
I know they make these wheels for C7 wide body, but I'm not sure if they are available in Z51 fitment.

Yours are machined & gray. They do look very nice on your car. My cup wheels are machined as well. They come in machined face with gray inners or machined face with silver inners. The difference between finish of machined and painted bits on my wheels is only evident up close though.

Polish is making a comeback. So much so that HRE has brought back the finish for all their wheels and I've been getting tons of calls for it.
Below is their P200 in full polished for a C7 Z06 Customer of mine.
