The whole black on black thing? i didnt want to much of it and for me the lip of the wheels is just enough to set it off, wasnt trying to murder it out completely

Looks great except for the Corvette logo on the centercaps. You would think they would be able to sell them without it.

The wheels are nice, but I don't understand the whole flat black thing. The car sitting high is a minor issue compared to the paint.

Looks good, only way it would look better is if you had gone with either polished/machined & had them powder coated satin black. Toss some Strano springs on there & call it done.

Lower it and it looks great. The wheels are a nice contrast from the flat black of the car.
