Yes, they look great because in "black" you can't see them and they look like every other black wheel.

Hmm?
With our C7, we ordered standard issue painted wheels and replaced them day 2 with HREs. Now that it is time to sell/trade the car, I've discovered my moderately expensive wheels are worth zero if we trade the car. Maybe with some effort, 1/4 to a private buyer. Our C8 is spec'd with painted silver considering the same plan. The longer we wait, the more I think we might just take a pass on the anrky's we had picked out. I dated a plain Jane in my youth and she was anything but plain under the covers. Plus, the all electric C9 is coming sooner rather than later. So there is that.

That makes it look amazing, what a transformation! Looks like it’s straight out of Italy. It looks lowered, and is that red or orange?

Didn't care much for the base silver wheels in photos, but when I got to see them in person at NCM I actually like them a lot. The detailing is done well, and I like the extra "flash" of the silver vs black wheels, which just disappear from more than a couple of feet away.
Could do without the "nubs," though.

What are staggered wheel setups? Do you mean front to back wheel size differences of 19" up to 20"? The only rotation for the C8 Stingray is side to side. Driver side to passenger side. Even then, some tires shouldn't be turned 180 degrees due to it's tread pattern being non reversible. I do realize that some tires shouldn't be rotated at all because of specific tread pattern at the corners.
