Black Wheels on Pewter or Silver C5s - Any Pics ?

Hi,

I'm thinking seriously of putting a set of black (powder coated) C5 Z06 rear wheels on my pewter 2000 FRC.

Any pictures that could be posted to help me decide would be appreciated.

Also - has anyone thought about putting a red (or silver) trim stripe on their black wheels on a pewter or silver C5 ???

THANKS in advance

Mr. Maple, that is one PURTY pewter Z06. Wasn't sure about that wheel color with pewter, but it works well.

I think chrome looks much better on your Pewter.

I myself think the chrome looks much better on a Pewter/Silver car, It brings out the color., Just my opinion.

Z's didn't come in pewter(they should have), only the FRC's came in pewter. That's silver. And a fine silver Z it is.

GREAT pictures !!!

I agree that the chome C5 wheels look great on a pewter FRC.

But I'm also thinking a 2nd set of BLACK powdercoated wheels with some new NIttos would be a great change of pace every month or so ???

THANKS again

First seeing the black wheels I half expected to see a Police emblem or an LED lightbar on top. After adjusting myself to the look though, it still looks intimidating. I like it.

Hey, Where can I find the wheels that are on the silver Z06 and Silver convertible that are pictured together. Black mesh looking wheel with rivets ? I have a pewter vette looking for a good set of black wheel with chrome lip. Thanks !
