The car looks perfect as it is currently. Black rims with that color would detract from it's stance for sure.

I think the chrome wheels should stay...but as others suggested I think something different headlight wise would be nice.

I would leave the wheels as is. Other colors that would look good are hyper silver or gunmetal but not black. You should also get an SLP front grille as well as some whistler style lights. If you would like some different tails then look into some 93-96 tails or exports.

There are these as well from TYC which you may like.

Would have been a great time to have them fill the holes and paint the grill opening black too

Color looks great man. I'm planning to do mine soon. Either Nassau blue on the C5's or that bright blue on the Toyota trucks and black everything out. I would say plasti dip them first. If you don't like it peel it off.

I just bought those headlights.and I like them. Lol everyone does the Whistler headlights. I want mine to be somewhat different. Which is why I picked a blue I didn't see any other 4th gens with. I plan on lowering the car. But not until I get a DD. I put enough wear and tear on it as it is. As for the tail lights I'm either blacking them out or leaving them alone. Rims I'm leading more towards going with a different wheel all together. Deep dish most likely. Probably chrome or polished. But black center chrome lip would look good too. So Idk.

I was bored this afternoon and ps'ed a few different kinds of wheels on your car. If you wanna see something specific, feel free to mention and I will do some more ps's. Not sure what your doing with the grill area, but I filled the holes and blacked the area out. I also lowered it a bit, and like someone mentioned earlier made the mirrors blue.

CCW classics


Machined ZR1 vette cup wheels. These are available in smaller Z06 sizes now.

Holy smokes...that looks hot...

The Cup wheels look good too.

Blue mirrors make this look killer, black ones are out of place and distracting to the flow of the car to me.

LT4Vert is a ps king! I agree with what most others are saying, black wheels don't look all that good and especially on that color. I vote leave it, lower it and color match the mirrors. One of my biggest regrets was not painting my mirrors after my color change.

Also if you plan on messing with the lights I vote red out lights or exports, that will really set it off. Anyways the car looks great, color changes are big $$$ if you're not doing it yourself, take some pride in it

I think it looks best with silver or chrome wheels. Black wheels are everywhere, I honestly really don't like them at all anymore, and you lose the details in the wheel at pretty much anything other than daytime with the car stationary.

And even if you were to go with black wheels, to me it always accentuates the big *** gap in the wheel wells of cars at stock ride height, so I would only do that after you lower it.

Beautiful color. I'm looking to get mine painted Hugger Orange, a bright metallic blue, or some type of green.

Yes I'm aware of the color of my wheels by the way before anyone says anything.

I'll break from the crowd..... I think black rims would look sic with the new paint job I'm biased though; I have black rims on both my Jeep and Camaro
