I have seen them in person. They are not bad. I like them because they are all black unlike the open spoke carbon flash wheels with the machined lip.
In my opinion you could buy much nicer aftermarket for the price Chev is charging for them.

black or gray
I cannot decide between the Trident black or spec gray. I like the idea of the car being all black & red only...…… just not sure about the Trident black wheels
looking for input...…...

Spectra Gray. I'm coming from black wheels on my C7 but will have the Spectra Gray Tridents on my C8.

Agreed, I didn't like the lip either so I spec'ed mine with the black trident. IMO though, it also makes a huge difference having painted calipers to break up the sudden contrast.

There is always black Plasti Dip. Don’t laugh. I have used it on my ZO6 Grey wheels and it has lasted a full year and can be peeled off easily if all the rules are followed when it is applied.

lol...if the GM bean counters decide the guys who are paying Z and Spider money will pay for chrome they might just have them on the option list, haha...but seriously I see GM going more Ferrariesque with the C8 so probably no chrome wheels. Also unfortunately they aren't following Porsche's example and optioning MT's in every model except the RS...the DCT's can't be beat on the track or the street but yeah lot's of us like the engagement of shifting. I went A8 in my C7 Z just because I wanted to just relax for once but in a C8 Z I would definitely opt for the MT if it was available....but as I said you can't beat a DCT.
