I don't think som cars look right with black accents like many other colors do. I mean grill and stuff ok but wheels and headlights should stay chrome on the already flashy color. I don't like black wheels anyway.

Pretty much anything is better than c5z wheels. They looked out of date when they came out on the Z06. They look more at home on a 3rd gen or C4 than anything else and even then they don't look "good" IMO

everyone says you need new wheels, cool have them all pitch in to buy new ones lol SOM IMO goes best with chrome or polish finish. I love me some black rims but on certain colors.

Yeah, also please stay chrome or polished. Black and gray/graphite wheels just don't look good on SOM really.

I've been happy with my gunmetal z06 replicas. When I was looking for new wheels for my SOM, I thought a full chrome or polished wheel was too much bling. Also thought a full black wheel looked kind too unfinished on a SOM car. But hey, that's just me.








I was actually turned on to the color from seeing it on Reidonly's old z28

Evil is the way to go. My car cam with the Chrome 10 spokes, couldn't wait to get rid of them. SOM and Black are my favorite

I like your current setup.

If you're set on getting something darker, I'd personally do an 18" set of gunmetal Fikse FM5s with a polished lip. Then top that off with a gunmetal manta stripe.
