I think it would look killer, I was even considering the same thing with the stock C5Z wheels. Chrome lips are ******* played out. Do something different.

go ahead and do it and f**k up a good looking car black its played out cuz it looks good on certain colors or people wouldn't do it.. Chrome is the best but black with a chrome lip looks good and so does sliver with a chrome lip ,my boy has 19's on a red GTO silver with a chrome lip and it looks good

No on the red lip, yes on the black.

On a related note, have you looked at the z07 wheels that are similar to c6 z06 style wheels? I think they look a little cleaner and they also look good in all black, and they are available in 19", but also a more performance friendly 18" x 11" in the rear so you could run 18" 315 Drag Radials if you're planning on modding this car like you did your c5.

I agree. I like the black wheels, but not the red lips.

Nay. Don't really think the red lip will look too good. Now, polished or chrome, hell yeah, but I'm not diggin' the red idea.
