I think these things look awesome. The UGR TT one that has been popping up on videos from the TX2k13 event last weekend is on my list of cars I would love to own one day.

I would like the Black wheels better if they had a silver lip on them as opposed to all black. The all black wheels get lost in definition with the tires. I liked the Competition Grey wheels that were offered last year. On certain colors I prefered them over silver painted or chrome. We all have our own opinions..............

I'm just a poor old white immigrant from England, wtf do I know, but I do know I love my black wheels, I also loved my CCW polished wheels too, and my Chrome Z06 Wheels I used to have, but WTF, I'm just crazy liking everything
it does my head in
Although, I can say that I have gone through more wives than I have wheels

For me it depends on the Vette and how it's set up.
But I can go either way..........................
..............with the color of the wheels

I do like the look of black wheels, especially on white, Inferno orange, yellow, comp grey, black, and silver. Not as big of fan with blues though. For me, I'll probably get a muted silver cup wheel when the tires need replacing. Wonder why we're not seeing too many other colors in the spectrum (other than neon colors)? Body paint matching wheels? Candy apple wheels? I don't know, maybe it would work.

Someone mentioned that black wheels blend in with the tire and I agree with that, and I think its a good thing because it makes the gap between fender and wheel on non-lowered cars seem shorter...in other words if I put a chrome rim on my black vette the gap between fender and wheel will seem bigger visually than it would with a black wheel from a distance...

I just bought a black 08 Z51 with chrome gumby's...first thing I'm doing is slapping on a set of 2011 vette repro 5 spoke wheels in gloss black. Someone once told me people that put black wheels on black cars just have no sense of style or ability to use complimenting colors to balance out the car...well that's BS! I know all about complimentary colors but the black on black look is a style choice....I like the mean dark racing look of black wheels...and all wheels blur out of focus eventually with speed...and I actually like how black wheels blurr out at a slow roll because you can focus on my drilled rotors and future red calipers that much easier!!!
Love gunmetal wheels too...
Nothing against chrome just sharing why black does it for me
