Vette(s): 1977 Corvette l48 Custom

Hey guys,
These are going on my 77 Vette...

What color do you like best against that blue?
Black with polished lip or gray with polished lip...
The all chrome is too gaudy...

I am leaning more towards the black.. not just cause its different, but the rocker molding is brushed with a BLACK stripe.

Vette(s): White '79 Corvette. It's a driver.

I'd go with chrome, too. Gray would be a close 2nd. choice if it were me.

IMO, the chrome or gray will pick up the contrast with the blue paint and make it "pop".

Let us know what you go with.

It did take me a minute to figure out that I needed to center the pics Confused

. didn't know what we were looking at. I love the look of those wheels, any of 'em to be honest, but for your color it feels like black or grey would look great.

I tried to bring the size down...
Not sure what happened... it like sizes down in the edit post box, but when i hit submit they never sized down....

All my friends say the black, I'm leaning towards the black as well..

THis car isn't a "Gangsta Whip" so I'm trying to keep it conservative..

The wheel is a old school design, but with a new age twist...
THe gray brings that old nostalgic loo to the car and looks good too..

THe black keeps it modern but contemporary 70s I think..

One of the things with you guys are.. you're all for the most part 40s + and I'm like 22 and so are my friends, so opinions differ... guys don't like change, just what was with the best years... so for you guys that be the gray.. lol

As it stands with the wheel availability...

Shipping and all included...

Black - $486.64 for the set
Gray - $494.64 for the set
Chrome - $838.10 for the set

AND THE ARE PROUDLY MADE IN THE GOOD OL' USA SINCE 1977

These are my VENDOR prices.. its what I pay... so this is really cheap.
