Not a fan to put it mildly.

Not for me. I like the current 'spider' wheels. I like the ERay wheels as well.

ERay Carbon Flash wheel is curently the best looking wheel they offer for the C8 IMO.

Wheel looks better in a single shade vs the two tone.

This picture shows the new wheels in a solid color. I prefer the current wheels, but these don't look nearly as bad as the 2 tone wheels.

I was thinking the same thing and was going to post a comment to that effect until I saw your post.

Are these an optional design or do they replace the standard spider wheels? I really hope these aren't a replacement... aftermarket will be a must if so. What a step backwards if so.

I think a darker solid color like that would look pretty good on my CFM. Looking for a second set of wheels, unsure if I’ll go Forgeline or a cheaper set of OEMs. Would like to have one set with A/S tires on them.

I bet those wheels in a solid color (not two-tone) would look fine.
