Default Yellow or Gray Hash Marks on Sebring Orange

HI, I have a 2019 Sebring Orange Grand Sport and I want to add Hashmarks in either Yellow or Gray. Does any one have pictures of Sebring Orange Cars with hash marks in colors other than black?
Thanks,
Chief G

I don't have pictures, but I've seen yellow hashmarks on an orange car. Looked awful.

I hate to opine on individual color choices but agree the two proposed hash options would not look good.

Beauty. It always amazes me how different the color looks under varying lighting conditions. Almost 14 months later, I'm still in love with it.

Because SO looks so much better w/ black wheels. It has nothing to do with moxie, just good taste.

Black Wheels in my opinion are a current FAD and I do understand most humans (including myself) are like "SHEEP"

I just maintain that for the option money you gave GM for your gorgeous BLACK CAST ALUMINUM Wheels
you could have invested that Money toward MORE Attractive, Classy, FORGED Wheels with Custom Offsets
for a BETTER FITMENT

Enjoy your BLACK Wheels and the "koolaide"

Black wheels a fad? Umm no. Chrome wheels go with old cars, not new sports cars. They look cheap on a C7 especially. The pearl nickle and silver machined ones are OK depending on the design, but black just looks good all the time. Black matches every color, just like shoes. When was the last time you have seen race cars with chrome wheels? Especially the C7r's Other color wheels can look good, bronze looks nice too if you want to get custom Forgestars, Signature, etc.

Black wheels are definitely not a fad and are a fast growing trend. Just look around you. They're spreading to the massive SUV/SAV and truck fleets now. It's not a "sheep" thing, they just look better on many colors. I'm still OK with silver or nickel, but chrome is abhorrent to me.

However, silver on orange is not a good combo.

The black wheels look good on my car, but the chrome wheels on my C6 were a hell of a lot easier to keep clean.

Insert vendor advertisement above. Those should be in separate threads.
