The chrome or pearl nickle silver wheels completely changes the Z06 "look". MUCH better than the black wheels.

That may be an OG thing. To me with that chrome license plate mount it just looks like someone's trying to bring back the 90s.

I too love red, and I was praising your sense of style... right up until I saw that ugly rear license plate frame!

That thing has no place on any car ever.

Wow, what kind of person says that about another guy's BEAUTIFUL new car. I saw it in person and it's a knockout. Interestingly the OP previously had a Torch Red Stingray coupe with black HRE wheels ... maybe after doing the invisible wheel look for a while he was ready to go back to wheels that can be seen and admired. Been there, done that?

I agree. I would lose it. It went out of style in the 90's.
