I give up.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Eh. I don’t think the blue ruins it. If only we had someone who was really good at photoshop around.

Not sure I personally feel the bronze on there.. I think I fall into the satin black camp.

I have those wheels on my C8 in Carbon Flash.

That's cool. Carbon flash would be an interesting option.

They were expensive to get carbon flash, but they are custom made and fit perfectly so you don't need to use centering rings. I think I paid like $3100 for the set back in September 2021.
Looks like just gloss black for your C7 GS are $3300 now. Ouch! They'll do custom colors and stuff if you ask. My sales guy was Alex Torosyan - I think he handles their presence on Corvette Forums. alex@motorsportsla.com

Re: The Grand Sport. Part 2: The experience.
Thanks! I'll keep them at the top of my list.
It doesn't look like they make a bolt on 19/20 combo, but they do offer blanks. I'll need to see how the pricing works out for custom 19/20 vs 20/21 and a corresponding set of tires.
Further complicating matters is they don't offer many run flats in the sizes I need.
So it'll definitely be a while before I do this.

Re: The Grand Sport. Part 2: The experience.
Yeah Id have Vira photoshop all the colors. I think the bronze could maybe look good even with the blue. Otherwise Id say black to match the spoiler/aero/accents on the car. More gloss than satin. But thats just my opinion
Also Vossen wheels are expensive! And tires for your car :faint:

Re: The Grand Sport. Part 2: The experience.
Hmm I wonder if it is carbon flash like color Beth has on her BMW. If so, I like them.
Re: The Grand Sport. Part 2: The experience.
It's just a fancy name for metallic black.

(ignore that the angles of the wheels between the 2 pics used and lighting are a poor match)

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

Something about it just doesn't sit right with me in that color for the wheels.

Oh my. :d rool:
