Josh, go with red calipers, they offset the black wheels nicely.

Looking great Josh! Just goes to show you that black wheels CAN look good.

I remember I didn't used to like them at all, but I started seeing pics of them on some badass cars and it simply changed my view. Now I've had my black ZR1s for about 2 years I'm glad you're happy with where the car is going; she's looking great!

It looks like you're hiding a dead body in the hatch

Keep the calipers black, the wheel area looks perfect, with red calipers there would be a little too much going on.

Red cars with black canopies look great, especially ones with the red and black theme going on.

Thanks everyone. I knew there would be some that liked the old wheels better but the more I look at the new ones the more I like the overall theme and attitude of the car.

Naaa, it's just my car cover. I keep it rolled up like that and in the hatch when I'm driving so I dont have to lug it in and out of the apartment everytime I park the car for a few days at a time.

I was never a fan of the black wheels till I saw your car.


Great job, and great attention to detail.

Thanks everyone. Going to put in a little elbow grease today to clean the car up and hit the wheels with some polish and some Zaino so hopefully after I get it all shined up I can get some more pictures... as long as this sporadic TN rain holds out.
