Default wheel suggestions

I picked up my new tires last night.

Only reason i bought tires first because of the deal on them.

Have a 2012 Centennial Edition GS Convertible with the stock Matte Black GS wheels (18/19).

Bought Continental ExtremeContact DW tires:
275/30/19
335/25/20

So looking for some suggestions on 19/20 wheels for the car.
Really do not want to go with black, leaning more towards silver or chrome. Like the look better with the Carbon Flash Metallic (black) color.

Much Appreciated!!

I'm a big fan of chrome with black.

Any of the Forgestar wheels look really great on any Corvette imo.

This indeed! However, you can also get VS Forged wheels for good and cheap too! 100% T6061 forged aluminum wheels.

Just make sure you get the proper wheels for what you plan on using them for. Cruising the streets and wanna look good? Cast wheels are just fine and an inexpensive option. Going to take her to the track? Opt for some forged wheels, not worth the risk going with cast for track use.
