Default White C6 w/ black stock rims?

I have an '05 white C6 with the stock rims. I was looking to paint my rims black to have the white on black effect, but I'm unsure how this will look. All of the White C6 with black rims images I can find on google don't have the stock rims.

Does anyone have an image of how a white C6 would look with black stock rims? I included an image of the rims I'm talking about. Thanks!

Why not paint the rims with removable peelable paint? Then if you like the look repaint with a more permanent solution. Personally I like extremely high polished aluminum wheels with black lug nuts. ( Yes you all can flame me, but it's what I like. )

Black wheels work well on some colors and they don’t work on others at the risk of insulting anyone.

Gotta say I agree.....no offense intended, but black wheels just don't do it for me on a white car. Personal opinion of course and there are MANY of them out there! I went with a TSW wheel that offered some dark gray trim and polished top surfaces.

I gotta dis-agree with you.... No offense intended. And the OP didn't ask other people to chime in with their opinion on whether they like black wheels on white cars. He asked if anyone had pictures of "stock black wheels on a white car", so showing him pictures of your white car with a polished face doesn't help him, again no offense intended. lol

Your car is nice by the way.

Instead of reprimanding people why don’t you just post pictures of what he wants?

and I could tell you look at your post #6 instead of reprimanding me about not posting pictures. You didn’t post pictures either.

so here is my white GS with stock Z06 Spyders. Not exactly what the OP wanted.

Even though the picture above shows my car with black wheels, that was not really by choice. They were original competition gray. It was only because of poorly trained tire shop employees that they ended up powder coated. The sample that I picked out didn't appear black, but after application, that is what the result was.
