CCWs all the way!

a) All-black wheels with no chrome or polished lip looks SO drab. When there is no visual separation between the sidewall and the wheel, it just looks like your wheels are covered with brake dust. Yawn.

b) Forged wheels made in America or cast wheels made in China? Shouldn't even be a question. It's a Corvette, not a Civic. Performance cars deserve performance wheels. Don't skimp.

CCW's by a mile IMO. The black wheels could be steelies or black steelies and you could not tell a difference in them. Black wheels do not do a thing for me.

Thanks guys and gals. Seems like pretty much a toss up, gotta admit didn't see that coming. Here's another pic I forgot to add in the first set.

Looks great. CCWs for sure. How about paint the CCWs black and leave the lip polished.
