Default New z06 Spyder wheels on, need advice

I was wondering if and how much I should lower my car and if I should paint the wheels black or leave them as they are. I like them as is, g/f says they would look better black.
thanks!

I'm loving how they look now over black. I'd do BMR springs I think the height is perfect.

Strano or BMR is the way to go with their 1.25" drop. Wheels look great how they are IMO

It would look great lowered. If the wheels were black I could see them tieing into the rest of the car better since you have the black sail panel, berger mod etc but I like the gray and would stick with that for now.

EITHER color would look great on your ride (I have a black car so I would leave them the comp grey color on mine).

The car does NOT need to be 'slammed', just slightly lowered the correct way.

Thanks for the feedback. I bought the wheels of someone on Craigslist. I live on phoenix, drove to LA just to get these wheels I liked them so much. 600 for all 4 with tires and an extra set of rear tires that are 285/30 r18. He thought they were too low profile so we took them off and put on 285/35 18 nitto drag tires. I love the rims so far.

Looks good but vote black for the wheels. Could always try plasti dip on the wheels before having them painted black!

Looks great. A set of our springs on there would definitely finish it off nicely

I like the wheels as they are and to be honest the wheel well gap isn't that big.

They look great as is. All you need is a little tire gel and you are good to go.

I vote to leave wheels as is, add Slp grill, and some strano or bmr springs. Would be perfect.
Nice house too
