Not a huge fan but they certainly aren't terrible. I would have gone all black in one way or another.

Spend some time in the C6 Z06 and ZR1 forums, it's a trend that's becoming far too popular.

I cant see the photos, but if its yellow lips, I like them.

not everyone has the same taste, thats what makes it unique.

I'm just not a big fan of colored matched lips, specifically with colors like yellow, red, blue, orange, etc. (though I like those colors for the rest of the car!).

It doesn't help that the Merci isn't the best looking vehicle to begin with

Love the wheels........but not a big fan of the car!!!!

As far as color matched lips go.....I don't think I would have it done on wheels with such large lips (such as the lambo rears).

Looks fine to me, not exactly my taste but certainly not cheesy looking..... my question is why the hell is that car so dirty, there are little black dirt spots on the wheels/paint and the interior looks a bit dirty for a pristine 4100 mile car??

That's got to be the most ghetto combo I've ever seen. Red lips can be pulled off with red cars, certain blue hues look OK, but yellow lips just look like 8 miles of shark s***. I don't care what kinda car they're on.
