Silver get's my vote from a color perspective especially from a ways off, as the black tend to blend into the dark wheel wells.
I do like the Z06 style wheels better.
Skirts would look nice IMO.

I prefer the black ones, but just give it a few more minutes and we're going to hear from the "chromies" posting that neither black nor silver are a good choice and you need to go with chrome.
Automatic trans or manual, because we might as well put both disputes in one thread

On my red 2014 had black wheels that I thought looked fine.
For my white Grand Sport I selected machined faced aluminum. Like that natural look with the white car.

I have to admit that the black wheels are starting to grow on me but being part of "the more mature generation" I prefer the silver. At least I am not part of that generation that loves the chrome and then complains about it pitting. I'm kidding of course it is all about personal choice.

The black wheels give it a “wanna race look”.
The silver for “taking your girl friend to the prom”.
I jus bought a set of black Z06 wheels for my 2018 GS. Can’t wait to get them put on.
It is still a Corvette no matter what!!!!!

Silver. I realize this is a matter of opinion (to which we are all entitled), but I have never understood the "black wheel" phenomenon. To me they make a beautiful car look like a beater taxicab missing its hubcaps. If that's the look you're going for, have at it.
