If you chose trident wheels, would you do it again or go aftermarket?

Spectra Gray Trident wheels were the best value for dressing up my 21 HTC. Yes, I can see why others buy after market wheels and respect that. I suspect you will see arguments for going factory or after market wheels just like choosing every other option on this car...... colors, trim, seats, options, or coupe/HTC, etc

Spectra gray tridents for me! Since I’m a “chrome-aholic”, they are the closest I can get to a stock chrome wheel without doing the West Coast Corvette chrome wheel exchange (like I did with my C6). They look great on my Torch Red coupe.

I have silver tridents and would get them again. Here is a pic on the car and in the kitchen when I ceramic coated them.

I am having a problem down loading a pic of my car, it is TR with Black Tridents. While cruising around I have seen several other TR C8's. They did not have Black Trident wheels.

Depends on your car color BUT I love my Spectra Gray Tridents.

Know some don't like the GM C8 wheel offering and I often bought aftermarket wheels. Usually to make a Plus 1 etc. But for my 6 Vettes (starting with a 1988) always found an optional wheel I liked.

Why spend money on optional wheels that everyone else has? Buy custom wheels….I love the winter tire idea. Drive it!

I have the Spectra Gray Tridents and really like them. In looking through this thread, I just noticed that the Silver Trident look "flatter" than the Spectra Gray do. Obviously, the are the same, but the color difference on the Spectra Gray makes them look more dimensional (at least to me).
