I'm gonna be honest, looks kind of off being all blue? Like it seems the roof and/or mirrors should be back too for whatever reason.

Very, very nice Electron Blue Z06, but my color is Lemans Blue (wish they made more in '04 that were not Commemorative Edition's-hard to find) ... I would like a C6-Z06, but they are just too pricey right now. I looked at C5-Z06's, but the wife said no tracking it, so I went SS instead.

Back to your post ... my opinion is black w/chrome. I just don't care for body-color trimmed wheels. Now, I do like body-color wheels w/chrome trim.

i want something more subtle. now if i had 3-4k dollar wheels i would probably do that scheme with the whole lip being blue.
now would you guys do the c5 y2k dd wheels all black with blue pinstripe or the c6 z06 wheels black with chrome lip with rivets
