1000%I have to agree with my old buddy and master LSx tuner/mechanic, Johnny D, about the black wheels. If I were to have ordered it new it would have been with chrome, but now I can honestly tell you that black wheels on the black Z, with the red accents of the brake calipers and red 427 badges 100% would be my first choice (and most know I am a black wheel guy anyways). I would honestly order the car just the way it is if i bought it brand new its looks BAD to the BONE!
Its makes the car a lot tuffer looking in my opinion and just more of a menacing race car look (which is my preference), vs. the bling if it was chrome. If and when I want a change of pace from the black wheels I will get a set of chrommies and have the best of both worlds but for now I have to admit BLACK ON BLACK on this car is awesome and really distinguishes the car more than your normal vette on the road.
I just got back for a quick 30 miles power blast after court and all I can say this car is FREAKING AMAZING!!
THANK YOU to everyone for your kind words and for sharing in what you can see is alot of enthusiasm and excitment on my part!

Yeah, I thought I was technologically challenged, it only took me 1/2 hour to walk him through how to post here! 
Now where is that powder blue Z06 of his so I can bitch slap it once and for all with the new Darth Vader C6 Z.

don't get me wrong I like the black wheels but you need to have A polished lip or chrome . because the farther you get away from the car the wheel & tire blend together . so you only see black no tire no wheel . but I do like chrome wheels . if somebody has some new chrome z o6 wheels in stock c5 z06 sizes wants to trade for my new wheels let me know
