Got some new wheels on the Z06..What do you guys think?
UPDATE: BETTER PICS OF THE NEW WHEELS TAKEN W/DIGITAL CAMERA ON 3RD PAGE. CHECK EM OUT.
I was at my friends shop getting my car re-tuned the other day and stumbled upon a set of wheels he had. When I got my Z06 last April the previous owner traded in the stock wheels and put on the ****ty chrome repros that arent worth jack! I was cool with the look for awhile but the last few months have really been wanting to switch it up for some black c5 z06 or c6 z06 stockers. I'd love to do some CCWs but cant afford that @ the moment
.
Anyway so here's the pics. Stock Z06 wheels painted matte black by a buddy of mine. I'd love to have them powdercoated though and get more of a gloss look though. I am SO HAPPY though with this look versus the chrome ones. I"ll post up some pics for you guys to compare. And sorry in advance for the two ****ty iPhone pics of the new wheels.

You asked what I think, Well I think they look way to plain for my taste, Almost like a wheel you will see on a lo budget car, Just my opinion, Not into the flat black look, But its your car and I don't have to drive it, I like the stock better.

i like the first set better.
the new ones also make your front tire look amazingly tall.
