Default New...same set of wheels

Well after finding 2 cracks in my front passenger wheel, my hand was forced into getting a new set. I personally didn't want to repair my wheel, then have to repaint most likely all of them. So since my tires had less than 6 months on them I ended up getting another set of OEM c6's. My old ones were black, and I loved the flat black paint. But after staring at these... Man. It really cleans up the whole car. Excuse the dirtiness, it's been sitting for a week

I gotta say, I'm more partial to black wheels... But the new setup definitely looks better than before. But then again, I think it would look even better with gloss black vs the matte black. But I'm pretty biased on that lol

I just don't understand the black wheel thing. Black tires, black wheels....too much black in the wheel wells. It almost makes the car look like it has no wheel and tires at all. But that's just my opinion.....

Yeah I totally get where your coming from. The flat black made it even more so. I do like black and would consider black again, but definitely gloss black. It was hard to make out definition of the wheel itself, especially at night.
