No way no black, just a couple shades darker of silver I think would look nice.

I couldn't plus one that comment enough. Every car needs black wheels...their owners just don't know it yet.

So what do you guys think, was looking through pictures online today, decided on "C6 Corvette anniversary edition" Anthracite style color, got the color code and had the paint place next to my work mix the paint up for me. Has real cool metallic flake that the cell camera cant pick up, but I'm pretty happy. First pic is after one coat that's why it looks so blotchy.

Nice shade choice. I think it goes well with the car color. Did you clear them?

Didn't clear them, the paint has base clear in it I guess, they aren't flat colored but aren't really shiny either. Perfect for what I was going after.

Nope, no spacers, the wheels are a -49 offset, so I was a little worried, but they rub at just about full lock, nothing I can't live with though.
