Thinking about bronze wheels

Hey guys,

Currently have black wheels on my Z06. Looking to switch things up a bit with bronze wheels. What do you guys think of the blue and bronze? Pardon the crappy photoshop.

Agreed! Blue goes with just about any option. I went with gold myself.

I vote no. I prefer no more than two offsetting colors on cars. I'd keep the wheels to somewhat match the carbon flash components.

Do it! Your car!

‘17 GS came with the oem chrome.
Got forged bronze so I didn’t have to wait for the inevitable wheel crack.

I think bronze wheels would look great with your blue car.

That beautiful colorful background makes your car look relatively bland, even though it is a great looking car. I don't have a useful opinion about the wheels.
