No option for the machined split spoke?

Look at my signature. I wanted black. Actually love the look of machines on white.

I really think it depends on the car color as to what looks best.

Everybody and their brother is doing black-from clapped out Hondas to super cars-and I HATE plastic coated!I don't know where this fad came from-but I wish it would go away!along with lime green brake calipers.Gloss black looks good on some cars but I like silver-shows better-IMO.

Silver or gray are my preferences. I like some contrast between the wheel and the tire, regardless of the body color.

I said no to black and silver. Gray machine face is a fresh look and hides the brake dust very well. The graphite rim look on the ZL1 and 1LE is tasty too.

I have run black and silver wheels, and still my favorite wheel is the machined black wheel. You get the best of both worlds. You get a little bit of bling so it doesn't disappear when you're rolling, yet you still have the dark look.my first modded car:

Never will understand black wheels. Just makes cars look old or broken to most people imo.

I'm 58. Wouldn't touch a silver wheel with a ten foot pole.

Black, or Satin Graphite, is beautiful.

Black with silver wheels, silver with black wheels.


It's all about the contrast.
