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

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. :lol:

Yeah I’d have Vira photoshop all the colors. I think the bronze could maybe look good even with the blue. Otherwise I’d say black to match the spoiler/aero/accents on the car. More gloss than satin. But that’s just my opinion

Also Vossen wheels are expensive! And tires for your car :faint:

Hmm I wonder if it is carbon flash like color Beth has on her BMW. If so, I like them.

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)

Seeing that I don't think you can go wrong with either color

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

I said bronze would look good with the blue!
