Do you like black/dark wheels?

Pro
Depends
Black wheels don't really turn me on, thou it seems like that is the current trend in vehicles, whether Corvettes or Bentleys.
When I bought my collectors edition the first thing I did was replace the black wheels to Chrome Z06 wheels. My boys (in their 40"s) like the black.

Chrome is for Geezers. Pearl is cool, Black is Badazz.

A few years ago I was unsure about all the black wheels on here, and thought for sure when the time came that I would get the standard silver wheels. When I started the ordering process for my 2018 I even decided to go with the standard wheels. But I was a little bit on the fence at the time and after putting in the preliminary order with the dealer (basically getting the quote but not entering the order fully into the system yet) my wife convinced me that our Torch Red C7 would look great with black wheels and red calipers so I added those two to the order and definitely don't regret it! I know that in pictures the black wheels can often get a bit lost and you can't see the details as well but in person it's a different story. I couldn't imagine my car without black wheels now.

I have been trying to come up with a part number for the front 19" and rear 20" black factory wheels just like this to swap out the chrome wheels on my Stingray but no one seems to know the part numbers. All of my searches online come up with just the GM accessory wheels but not the black stock wheels like in the picture here.

Depends not only on the COLOR of the car, but the characteristics of the car itself.
Two blacks but...

Love the black, just got 2nd set of powder coated ones and striped them! Just bought Power Stop brake pads and new set of Michelin A/S 3+ ZP tires. Will be installed soon!
