I personally like the grey, but I think the black flows better with your car. Black FTW

Black looks much better. Red cars can pull off black wheels the best imo.

Gray doesn't look like they "belong" on there.

Nice car, btw

Default formula vincent
looks damn sexy and sinister .i have a set of 2004 corvette rims on my
94 formula that i plan on painting either gloss black or gunmetal ,by the
way my car is bright red like yours too. .. a light gray tint on the glass
will look good too.

Paint the spokes black and keep the lip gray...just my $.02
That way you have a combination of both. IMHO all black wheels look like **** on ANY car no matter WHAT wheel it is.

Bullshit



And before deep dish and wider lips



However, I am not a fan of ALL black wheels, I think it needs a dish or at least a lip. Kinda looks like a spare if its pure black.

You'd probably be best off selling your current rims if they are in good condition and just buying gloss black/polished lip C5 Z's from OEWheels

i bought these because i love the c5 z06 rims more than the c6 z06 rims but i didn't buy the motorsports cause i hate the look of them with all the rivets . . . plus i got these rims from a local member and he got my chrome 10 spokes. i might just pull these off the tires and have them powdercoated a gloss black
