Which Rims are your Favorites?

I really like the black rims because it goes great with all of the colors.

I like the two tone and black. The contrast of color makes black rims on this car just glorious

stop posting those pictures. They're making me insane

EDIT: I just noticed that those rims say Corvette on them. That's a nice touch

Can you get the black rims without the Z51 package?

If they force you to get the Z51 package to get black rims that would blow.

Of course the Z51 package is awesome, but how much cost will it add? It would be nice if it kept the car under 60K with the Z51 package....guess time will tell.

Sooner or later we shall all see... if a semi-loaded Stingray (such as with the Z51 + few more key options) can stay at 60K or below then it woild be a hell of a bang for the buck.

So far the black wheels are Z51-specific. Not sure if that will change.

I want to see the red z51 coupe with both silver and black rims to decide which I like better.

I'm old school and like the center black and the lips polished as I had on my torch red Z06.

These all black rims do look bad @SS though

Thanks for posting up

I like them all except for the chrome, don't think chrome belongs on a modern day performance car. The five spoke plain old aluminum with the silver paint is my favorite.

You could consider having the stock rims powder coated black for around $400.

Excellent point! That's an option if I don't opt for the Z51 package.

Black or chrome...

Just cant decide on the rims....CGM convertible with Z51....black rims for me but my wife says chrome or I sleep with the dogs...

Maybe since CGM is a less flashy color the chrome wheel would be nice or black for that 21st century look and more bad ass....

HELP !!!!
