Default Chrome emblems

I am getting the ulta bright silver trident rims. For anyone that has seen these in person would you get the chrome wing emblems, and corvette letters on back or the carbon flash? Ordered Z51 carbon painted spoiler so there is a lot of black cotrast, artic white exterior. Also do the wheels look good?

Your car; your choices. Why does it matter what anyone else thinks?

Your $, do what makes you happy. I too am getting those same wheels on a white car and am going with the carbon flash badges. Chrome doesn't work for me, again what my personal preference is shouldn't matter to you.

I'm going with the chrome badges on my AW along with body-color trim and torch red 3LT. Not sure whether it will be the silver 5-spoke or trident wheels. Will decide after seeing them next week at Carlisle. I think the chrome emblems will look better on AW, CMG and silver than any of the others. But I'd go with the CF base badges if I were doing CF trim, spoiler and wheels.

For me it depends on the body color. Like on Black or the Shadow Gray...the dark one wash out. The chrome pops more. On white you could do either. I’m not a fan of a lot of chrome but even these badges is very little chrome. It’s tastefully done with just the front flag, the back Ray and the Corvette lettering is hardly excessive chrome. Oh yeah! The exhaust tips. IMHO!
