I do not understand all black

And silver painted, polished and chrome are the most often ordered wheels for those black cars, not black wheels.
I just did a 6418 mile cruse to California, and saw six generations of Corvettes from a C2 at the Grand Canyon to a C7 in Williams, AZ. Not a single one was "murdered out".
When I see a car that is "murdered out', it's usually an older four door sedan driven by a young kid, or a Rat Rod driven by a breaded old man.

Obviously you missed the new C7 Z06 being tested by GM prior to release....interesting they went with Black wheels and the "murdered out" look!
And yes it looks awesome!

I wasn't going to wade in to this but it just pissed me off a little too much. If you had associated it with criminals or gangs I could have ignored it, but, the military? Yes, heaven forbid somebody should emulate anything from a group that protects us and allows us to bitch about them. There are a lot of vets on here and they are probably as offended as I am to the reference. Besides, the military doesn't have "blacked out" vehicles!
Cheers.

I do like black cars but we bought our daughter a black rs camaro for her h.s. graduation present with gray leather interior . Loved the car but it was a chore to keep clean
so I decided I wouldn't buy another black vehicle..we have silver, beige, white, red and VY ..all easier colors to keep clean IMO. That being said, a clean black vehicle looks fantastic..

We should have a sticky titled "What Grinds my Gears" where people can make posts about what they dislike. People who start threads to complain about things such as 'color choices' really grinds my gears.

I cant believe GM does not give a $1000.00 credit for Chrome Wheels.

I actually like black and would have gone black on black on back on black with tint, but seriously, dem swirls and dat dust. Color is just too high maintenance to stay looking awesome.

IMHO. .. Black is hard to take care of. Pain in the *** to clean, but at night no matter how dirty the car is, black is by far imho the best looking color for any car....All of my vettes have always been murder out, but I like my sedans in silver...
