Ordered C8 w/ stock silver , thought about black, decided on Variant Xenon ( cold forged ) rims powder coated w/ Blood Red Translucent . Black lugs.
Before ordering was somewhat skeptical , upon install they really popped ( IMHO ) ! ** 1 LT red interior .

If nothing else it will make your car distinctive and I doubt you'll see another one like it. Not to my taste.

I'm old and not that "Bold" I'm going with Old Timer's look with Artic White body color. Stayed with GM's Trident styling to confuse some...

Ok, I’ve got to say I’m not a big fan of white cars and I don’t think that combination would work for me. But that said, that’s one sharp car!
