Default Pic request: Silver Z with the '13 ZR1/Z06 wheels in silver

It may not be a popular choice (silver paint and silver painted wheels) but I love the looks of them. I've seen one or two sets of the new wheels in a true painted silver (not the machined face) but not on a silver car. I'd LOVE to see them. Anyone got a pic of that?

I'm picturing those wheels on a silver Vette (using the last pic with the silver truck in the background) and to me it's like bathwater. Just warm and average, not HOT! I think it would like too much of the same thing. Silver needs something to POP on it, like chrome. Some kind of sparkle or shine.

Of course, this is just my opinion. Doesn't count for a thing.

Considering that truck is the color of dirty bathwater in comparison to the bright silver wheels, yeah, not hot.


But a blade silver vette with bright silver wheels when clean is gonna be nice, IMO.

Well, there are at least two of us that like the silver on silver look, because I think it looks great. The black ZR1 with the silver wheels above also looks very good to me. Have you also tried asking this question in either the ZR1 or Z06 sections?

Those all look nice, but I'm looking for the '13 style wheel like this one, but just silver.

Closest I could find with a quick search. Not silver wheels, but close.

Thats a very cool combo even with just the face of the spokes brushed in aluminum.
