With Black Wheels, which Red would you choose for the new Z06?

I would choose the crystal red but given another choice with the wheel color I would go with grey with the machined lip.

Still. the crystal red ZR1 used in the MT shootout against the red Viper had black wheels & interior and looked real good......... personally I am just getting a little burned out with all the blacked out wheel wells everywhere I look .

Coming from one of the first, if not the first, guys with an all blacked out C6Z06 I agree with you. I may still go black, if I do white body, but hopefully I can resist the urge. The pearl looks excellent in person as did the machined lip (which usually I hate).

I agree. The car above is hot as hell but I swear if we look in the window I'll see a cane and dentures.

LOL. Just sold my 94 396 LT1 that I drag raced for 15 years. It was dark red (close to crystal red) with black grand sport wheels and flares. Also had hood stripes.

Debated on ordering my C7 in the Torch Red for a new look but settled on the Crystal Red. IMHO, it looks best with black wheels, interior, roof, splitter, rockers, and spoiler.

Just had my 67th birthday party.

That is a tough decision. I ended up going TR on my Stingray, will probably do the same when I move up to a Z

I'm going to wait a couple of years and let the hype/pricing come down a little bit. I like the guys at Suburban Chevrolet...
