what about these wheels?

http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette-1-296-7551.html

i love the look of the competition gray wheels on the silver c6 cars but i wonder what the above wheels would look like on a QS c5 Z06.

You want opinions?

I HATE them. F#cking stupid looking.

I can't wait for this dark wheel "disease" to be overwith... I thought only import drivers were this stupid.

Your Zo6 deserves better. Why don't you bolt on an equally stupid looking wing or ground effects?

Damn that was a pretty harsh reply. I don't like them either sort of like the new flat black paint schemes some guys are going with.

Thanks for the engine pic props, it took forever to "earn" those shots.....

I was rude about the wheel opinion... I just don't see anyone EVER saying anything bad about them... am I the ONLY person that dislikes dark wheels?

Is it some sort of racist crap that nobody can say they don't like dark WHEELS? What's up? I can't believe in the last several years... I've yet to see anyone strongly say that dark wheels don't make them sick.

That's all.... it just seems odddddddd.

and by the way, I've seen a few cars that look like SEX with dark/black wheels, but they are FEW and FAR in between.

no i am glad to hear honest IMO about these wheels. I have never seen them on a silver c5 z06. I have a lot more mods planned to do first before i even think about changing the wheels. I love the stock rims anyway. a buddy of mine has the chrome version of the above wheels on his gray FRC vette and they look sick.

I agree. In general I do not like dark wheels. The dark wheels are just like the split cam duration fad a few years ago. In time this too shall pass and no one will be caught with a set.
