Love the build! I was partial to black wheels, however I'm starting to lean towards silver wheels on certain colors lately. I still voted for black on you build because I still think the darker AB color looks better with black and they'll match the carbon flash aero and center stripe.
I'm up in the air about the polish/carbon flash wheels. In theory it's the best of both worlds but I would need so see them in person first.

Well, I voted black, although the 3rd choice with the machine edge is not unattractive.
With your build, I did not prefer the pure nickel.
Ya, if the black is carbon flash, to match the boomerang, that could be a bonus

The standard pearl nickel wheels are still on constraint so I am changing to the machine faced wheels.

Right now i think I will go with the Carbon Flash that have both the satin and black on it. It is a good compromise on this as I think the black is too dark and the nickel is too bright. And I do not want Polished.
I have gunmetal C7 Z06 wheels on my C5 now and it is a good compromise between the polished and black.
It is good the WIng is holding up the order so I can give this a good final once over. I am also going to the Stealth package inside.

It's a personal choice. Black wheels are great if you don't want to distract from the appearance of the car by itself. I myself prefer chrome...the flashes of light produced by the wheels highlights the cars motion.
