I'm a fan of black/dark centers, but I think they look better stock. So thats how I voted.

I think it would look 10 times better if the whole wheel was black instead of leaving the lip bare...it'd be a bitch to take care of but I'd do it. I've been kicking the idea around for over a year now

The SS wheel has to many spokes to look good black. I also thought about powder coating mine black, but then I saw them on another car and they look nasty. IMO

I think the black wheels take away from the amazingness of SOM. But either way it'll be badass. If you do go black, polish the lip. A deep dish polished lip would look sick also.

If you added at little bit more darkness to the car, for example tint, smoked side markers, black housing head lights maybe even black SS symbols the black would flow alot better

just a thought

edit, id go polished Z06 wheels if I were to upgrade

That does look trick!

Do people still say that? Either way, would look quite nice on your car.
