Default Velocity Yellow Z with Competition Gray wheels?

Thinking about changing from the polished split spokes on my VY 2006Z. Anyone have pictures of a VY Z06 with split spoke competition gray wheels?

Thanks guys - I'm sold. I ordered as set of split spoke competition gray wheels from House of Wheels yesterday. I forgot about lug nuts ... looks like the photos have competition gray lug nuts? I guess I could use any color ... maybe black?

I had polished wheels stripped, painted OEM comp gray and cleared 5 times. I've always like comp gray, everyone around here has black wheels on everthing, and chrome is just not for me. Its a nice unique look. I've only seen 3-4 Z06s in person with Comp gray.

Awesome, enjoy.

I had great luck with the Michelins for years. They are quiet, grippy, and wear very well. I am ordering a set of R888s this season to try as a blended DD/track day tire to avoid the hassle of switching wheels. I will post up results as the miles accumulate.

Wow Ive never thought about that combination before, VY and comp gray looks amazing. Your car is gorgeous ConfusedGarage. I have black wheels on my machine silver z right now but I am very strongly considering comp gray, yal are right everyone has black wheels now.

Can't wait to check it out. Yellow/comp gray is one of the best combos, going to look great. You'll love the Michelins (PSS I'm guessing?) as well, they are better in every way.

Thanks jp. Obviously I meant no disrespect to black wheel guys, and I love 99% of the Z's I see with them - especially the cup wheels. I just like to be different and comp grey is uber rare in my parts.

None taken - I just ordered 19/20 Satin Black OEM Cup wheels

** Keeping my factory chrome ones though - I do like them

Looks like you'll need to order the comp grays soon to round out your choices...

Thanks Bill - went with the PS2 ZP. Haven't had a flat on the Z but we've had several flats from road debris on the daily drivers over the last few years. So went with ZP. My GYs are still good and I'm keeping the original wheels so I will switch back to those occasionally.
