Default Whatcha think?

Ok. I change my mind. Alot. I bought a set of chrome Z06 replicas for my silver C6. Ho hum, kinda plain, but cheap. Now that I have them, I'm starting to think I want something more "custom". I really love black wheels, especialy on silver cars. Also, CCW recently started offering theor wheels with pained centers and polished hoops. I'm thinking of the CCW SP500 with either black or gunmetal centers. Pics of my car and the wheels are below, if someone could photoshop the wheels (A) onto my car and (B)paint the centers black and then gunmetal it would be appreciated.

What would look better, there are some opinions in here that I really respect, and I am torn between the "classyness" of the polished wheels and the "aggressiveness" of the black/gunmetal wheels.

Pics of my car (it has tinted windows coming soon, and will be lowered slightly once the wheels and tires are done):

I know most will disagree with me, but I like that CCW in ALL (even the lip/rim) gunmetal or black on a silver (or yellow) Vette.

Any bright silver wheel will look best on yellow. Just be sure to remove the H/L covers & paint flat black around the seal beams. If you don't the front end will look like a blonde with blonde eyebrows.They always look better with dark eye shadow ! Then replace the clear H/L covers .

I've always preferred the classy look. Polished gets my vote.
