Default Had my Z51 wheels striped, looks good
On my 2014 AW Z51 coupe, matches my red brake calipers & red interior. I think it really sets off the wheels. Had it done by Darren at DB Graphics in Poughkeepsie, NY. He used 3m series 1080 vinyl wrap, he measured my wheels in advance so it came out perfectly even. Let me know what you think.

Very nice. In my opinion a little contrast makes dark wheels so much better. It defines the wheel in the wheel well instead of visually losing it .

Nice. I know a C7 owner with a superman edition who has a thinner red stripe on his black Z51 wheels. At little more subtle. Both nice, nonetheless. Stay away from curbs..

I've always liked that look going back to the '60's with redline radials. Raised white letters on the side wall looked good too, just not along with the redline.

Ah, nostalgia!

Very nice, it really gives a nice contrast to the wheel and compliments the whole exterior.

Red lines on a Stingray, what a novel idea. Looks great on your car!

Wheel Gators...helps define the wheel from tire, adds a little curb protection as well.

Did your guy cut a circle from a sheet or is this 1/4" red 3M tape? It looks very good.
