Can't beat the price! Looks like a nice finish, too.

Agreed.
I absolutely HATE the black wheel look.
Black wheels should stay on municipal vehicles and trash trucks.
Wheels should contrast with the rest of the car and visually "pop".
This whole black wheel thing started with ricer kids from the Fast and Furious generation and I hope it goes away soon.

Can't get much more ricer than that.
Black wheels have been used forever

I think black wheels look great on red and white cars, but I'm not a big fan of them on other colors, especially not the darker colors, as it's just too much darkness hitting you in the face

If you don't like them, carry on. I hate when people act like they have some kind of mission to show people the aesthetically-proper way...

I have never been a fan of black wheels, doubt I ever will. AND, adding unsprung weight to a sports car is a MASSIVE no no.
That said, looks like they did a nice job and glad you like it!

I love it . Great move . I am picking my car up today and you beat me to it . This is the first mod I am doing although I am powdercoating with a flat black satin finish . Good job , your car looks beautiful just the way it its . I lowered my C6 and would never do it again , IMO , just leave it be . Good luck with your car l am sure you will enjoy it immensely ....
Looks very nice. You mind me asking how much that cost you?
I'm thinking of getting the "standard" Z51 wheels, and then getting them powder coated. I think it might save me a tiny bit of money, but more importantly, apparently the black paint on those wheels picks up swirls easily.

Tire dismounting, TPMS removal, re-mounting, balancing, TPMS install was $200
Center caps were $40 each.
Total was around $750
Agreed.
