Default Pics of Torch Red with Black Wheels?

Ok, I know there are pics of Red Z06s with Black wheels floating around. Not many are very good. The black wheels just don't show up well in certain lighting. I've seen good pics of spectra gray wheels, but not black. I'm sure they look better in person, but it's really hard to like them in pics when comparing to the gray. I'm sure others are having trouble deciding which wheels to get. Maybe someone with black wheels can take a good pic without shadows where the wheel and tire blend into each other?
THANKS!

I have a torch red that came with the silver wheels.


Since I got a set of black wheels and comparing the 2 you will not believe how much different the car looks. With the Silver there is a much more mellow look, with the black more aggressive.


Sorry I don't have any pics that show the wheels clearly.

Car was delivered to me from Nashville. I live in Alabama. Before even driving it , I went over the car with Chadwick's Triple Play. it brings out the shine with little effort. Here is a pic of the vette I traded in. Nothing but Chadwick's triple Play used on iy. No water. The dealer put it straight away on the showroom floor. 2012 3LT with 13K miles on it. Neil Chadwick is a forum sponsor.

I also switched from silver wheels to these and definitely prefer these.
They are harder to keep perfect looking but when they are clean they look fantastic.

I like it with the body colored (ie TR) vents!
and lots of visible carbon fiber, hood, splitter, skirts, spoiler, roof, interior!

I'm a big fan of body colored vents..looks great both ways but just an added bonus. Torch with black is striking.

I also like the rear spoiler in red as well...

Believe it or not the black rear tail light vents in black is a preference for me too..

No matter the variances torch red and black is a stunning way to go..

In a perfect world that would be my choice ...

Just the opposite for me. I have yet to see a torch red C7 with black wheels that I didn't like.

What I typically see with black.


High Quality Spectra Gray from a forum member. Not sure who it was though.


In pics, those wheels seem to pop. Need to see in person I guess.
