Hands down the 427 wheels are the best looking factory C6 wheels by far?

The Machined Face Competition Gray Cup Wheels (Q8K) which are standard on the 427 Convertible are indeed a very nice wheel, but they are not my favorite. I prefer the Machined Face Cup Wheels (Q5V) however they are not available to be ordered on the 427 Convertible, and they are limited to the ZR1 or the Z06 but only if the Z06 has the Z07 or the ZLC package. And depending upon the car I may also prefer the ZR1 chrome wheels.

I just bought a 427 vert and pick it up next monday. I looked at the black wheels and while they wont show the dirt or brake dust too bad, once I saw the chrome zr1 wheels that was it for me. A lot of spokes on the zr1 to clean but the chrome looks best on a crm 427 vert.

FWIW, I like the ZR-1 20 Spoke Chrome Wheels better on a darker vehicle. If I had ordered a black or blue 427, it would have the ZR-1 20 Spoke Chrome Wheels. In the end it was the most difficult decision I had to make on the order. They both look great IMO.
These are bad a$$ wheels!

You have a point their. They are visually missing the wheel hub.
