Polished , chrome, silver painted, or machined will always be around in bigger numbers than dead black wheels .

Looks good! But I am a little biased on that color choice!

Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations, and enjoy

And remember, some of us still like chrome wheels over black ones.

Black wheels look like dog ****... I hate the fad and I'm 37. You want black centered wheels with a nice polished lip, great.... but all black wheels disappear. Chrome looks awesome with that blue.

do you go around telling men their wives are ugly because they didn't marry someone that fits a typical stereotype or more mainstream look? Give it a rest, people like different things, no need to get panties in a wad!

I happen to like the black wheels on my GS and on my old Z51 Stingray, but I also think the wheels on the original posters car look great too. Can't go wrong with any color on a Corvette really.

Dig this car! Next steps, lower it, maybe black wheels, mild 2 wild (or pull the fuse), tinted center wicker bill to rear spoiler.
