In the words of the immortal Ronald Regan, "well, there you go again". But you young whippersnappers wouldn't know about class and style, look who you voted to president. :lol:

The vast majority of the voters you speak of are the seniors and the 18-25 group.

Think about it, and apologize to the older folks who buy the majority of 'vettes, baby them for a few years, and then provide you younger guys with a built in market of low mileage garage queens, at a huge reduction in cost which is all that most younger folks can afford!

In fact, if it were not for the used car market provided by older guys, I'd say that about 2/3 of younger folks would be driving used Camaros and Mustangs.

Come on be honest OK? :thumbs:

I dont see it. I know lots of guys who buy trucks and other cars that are more expensive than a Corvette. Not all of us are making $12.50/hr. The biggest reason the Corvette is bought by older folks is the appeal of the Corvette is not to most younger peoples liking. The cost isnt the key component.

Chrome is class in my eyes, but not GM chrome wheels.

It was your generation that overwhelmingly put him there because he's so hip and cool just like the black wheels, no pun intended, that supposedly you younger guys like so much. How's that hip and cool thing working out for you. :cool:

No, if you want, blame women as a whole. Of total voters of which 53% are women, 55% of that 53% voted for Obama.

You don't need to get it, just like I don't need to get why guys put stick-on chrome all over the motor compartment.
Im a vintage car guy, all my cars have billet polished rims and I am sick of polishing them.
I like the blacked out look on new cars, I might go with a polished lip or black chrome someday when and if I get bored with it, but love it for now.
But I will say they are the hardest rims to keep clean yet, but that because the stock pads suck.

The largest contributor to Obama election is the 45-64 age group. They account for almost 18% of the 51% of total Votes for Obama.

Of course, any rational person knows this is the truth!

My joke thread asking which color is the most "manly" is at almost 4 pages already. Clearly shows a need for some humor on forums, or maybe lots of bored people.

I've been saying that for years! Never should have given women the vote. They'll vote for whom ever's cute, and turns them on. All emotion, and no political savvy.

Take a pic of those wheels without direct sunlight and ask the same question.

I already saw that, you left out how much of the TOTAL VOTING POPULATION falls in to each category. :) 19/27/38/16 percents, 18-29,30-44,45-64-64+, respectively.

So, in case you inhaled too much of the paint under your hood, 60% of 19% and 52% of 27% are each less than 47% of 38%.

The key target is 1. women, and 2. age 45-64.

You suck at statistics. The first clue would say "Well, those numbers add up to over 100%, why?" And the reason is? Ding ding ding....you didnt look at how much each group contributed to the total voting. Which mean, again, you suck at statistics.

The guys who claim they cannot see any detail in black wheels, also believed, "if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan".

Most say they can't see detail in black wheels when the black wheels pass them at 40 mph, or when they lose to black wheels at the drag strip.

Here, maybe they can see this black wheel...

Wow, there's just no end to the jealousy over black wheels.

You know you want them, just admit it!

Perhaps people want wheels they can see at night - do you think these come in C6 sizes?

You are very good at spinning general statistics to fit your narrative and good the art of personal attacks. You say you know statistics, then you should know that you can slice statistics down into sub categories an infinite amount of times to fit the desired results. Distract and attack are a cornerstone of the Obama administration. Your true colors are showing and they are not very pretty. Don't be embarrassed, you're allowed to vote for the wrong guy once, but twice, you get what you deserve. Now, we can go back and forth forever about this but in the interest of fairness and the fact that I love a good debate, I will give you the last word. But let's leave out the personal attacks. It's a sign of weakness and a lack of knowledge of the true facts, not facts as you interpret them. Now, have at it:D

:lolg::lolg::lolg:

This thread will never die! Too much hate on black wheels and too much love, all in one happy place! I will stay a hater... every pic posted in here with black wheels immediately elicits the thought "Wow those would look amazing in ANY other color!"
