My latest Mod - Wheels
Originally, I decided to go with a "Black Out" look on my Black Rose Grand Sport. I really liked the look, but with the black wheels and black calipers there wasn't a lot of definition of the wheel details.
Well, I curb rashed one of the wheels last week. I went to a shop to get it repaired when I saw that they did machine finishing on existing wheels. So, what do you all think? I like it a lot!

Since you asked...I prefer either all black or all silver, polished, or chrome. I have never been a fan of the machined faced C7 wheels due to it making the wheel design look like a flower (more so on the Z51 wheels), BUT as long as you like them, that's the main thing. It never hurts to experiment by changing things up a bit. You have a good looking ride regardless of either wheel color configuration.

Huge improvement. The all black wheels have no definition and are lost in the overall look of your vehicle, given its color. The machine finish provides a nice contrast.

Huge improvement from the no look black wheels. These give you some contrast and bring out the exterior color. Great choice.

It doesn't get any better that that! Great accent. Really makes the car come to life.
Now what are those stickers on the windshield?
