Best looking wagon wheels I've ever seen. I think the C6s would look good with the black/orange theme too

It Would probably be cheaper to sell the Chrome C6s and buy these:



Then have the lip painted orange over striping the chrome C6s and paint them like the wagon wheels

I would have to agree. Much less work in getting these instead of changing up the chromes. There is a set of black C6's with a blue lip in this link to give you an idea of how they would look.
