Default Ditch my Chrome C5 Z06's for a Black Wheel?

Hey guys..

I have practically brand new C5 Z06 wheels on my WS6. They don't even have 300 miles on them. My whole car is red/black themed.. I feel like the wheels could look better. I like the ones I have, but feel there's room for improvement.


Here's the car:






The fronts are 17x9.5, rears are 18x10.5 .. I was thinking maybe C6 Z06 black wheels with a chrome lip. What do you guys think?




Anybody wanna trade their black wheels for these?

i have had a set of chrome 17" ZR1's.. they were nice...
then i got the same exact set that you have.. now they were a little better..

Yeah I'm gonna try and sell these, then buy a black set.

If anyone's interested, these wheels are for sale.

I would stick with the chrome wheels. Not a big fan of black ones.

Hey:

I would just get the wheels you have black chromed or powder coated black and red stripe it, just a thought. But I like 18s all around too.

C5 Z06 rims are definitely one of the best looking rims on an fbody especially if they 18's all around. Since you are doing a red/black theme, i think you should just go with some black ZR1 with the polished lip.
