Black Z06 Rims Vs. Polished Z06 Rims

Bluewire · 06-13-2009, 12:19 AM

Well I finally got around to putting on my black powdercoated Z06 rims with some new Nitto tires.
It was getting dark out when I started so the pics are not that good, I will get some better pictures in daylight when the car is clean as well

I know black is not for everyone, but I like to be different.

I posted a few with the polished Z16 wheels as well, enjoy.

i like the black better. i also love the car color and thats the color i wanted when looking to buy my c5 but found a mag red with the options i wanted and at a killer price so i went with it

both sets look great. The black gives it the badass look.

It really comes down to your own personality traits. I myself am not a fan of bling or just drawing to much attention to myself, I love the black wheels and its the exact same thing i would have done in your position.

Should have went with black chrome, now that would look sick. Your car/wheels look amazing though.

I like the back. Maybe do a silver or white pinstripe on them....

Polished for sure.

Red99TA · 06-14-2009, 10:08 AM

I say polished for sure as well, then again I've never been a fan of an all-black wheel. Now a black wheel with a polished lip looks pretty good but that's not an option here. Also don't really like the black with blue scheme. Not doggin' your car at all here just giving an opinion. It's still the best color C5Z after EB of course!

I was able to get some better pictures today.
I am very happy with how the rims look on the car. While it my not be everyones cup of tea, it is the look I was going for.
Now I just have to get all the lights tinted.

What size tires you running? Looks mean.

love the black wheels i like yours better than mine, i have the replica c5 z06 wheels black with the polished lip they look great but i like the flat black look better

I like the black better, but I'd put a pinstripe around them if that were my car. I personally don't like the solid black look. I plan to put black on mine (black centers), but will get a red anodized lip to give them some contrast.

They are 275/40-17 front and 305/35-18 rear.

blk is the perfect choice!!!!

Robert56 · 06-17-2009, 05:52 PM

On the blue, I would say the polished look better, imo.

Looks good, I want to do the same thing with the chrome C5Zs on my car but I was under the impression that you couldn't powdercoat over chrome. Did you have the chrome stripped first or can you coat over it??

Also, do you feel comfortable saying how much you paid for the powdercoating? If not it's fine.

Looks great! Mixes the look of a car for the street with the look of a car for the track.
