If you want your wheel design to stand out stay with the chrome. Not hammering on black, but they just seem to disappear into the abyss.

I've been considering a wheel swap on my LBR C7 for something colorful but a bit less "blingy", trying to decide between anthracite, black ice or dark bronze


Forgestar FO1 anthracite

Forgestar FO1 black ice

Forgestar F14

Forgestar matte brushed antique bronze

Forgestar Brushed Matte Bronze

Not exactly sure. I did a Google search for "c7 corvette with satin black wheels" to find some examples. Run that and you should find some relevant pics under images.

I have BRM so not LBR, but they both are colours that tend to agree with similar wheel colours. Personally I think black looks great and so does chrome but I personally can't stand chrome anymore.

If you want to stand out, I suggest satin bronze, that is what I did and I love it. Helps them stick out more than my black oem, but more subtle than chrome, and they are more rare/less popular choice. Plus forged are stronger and lighter too.

Wheels look good but don't sell those Black wheels as I have a feeling you will go back to them once you come to your senses. JK!

I've really come to like my pearl-nickel painted aluminum 10 spoke Z06 wheels from the Spice Red package.

wpgz06…. In my rim/wheel search, came across this thread..
Just got a ‘17 GS BRM couple weeks ago… came with the chrome wheels but knew I wanted to go the bronze route even before my purchase (search was only for a BRM)… what bronze brand wheels do you have? How they handling?
