Do you guys think any of these wheels would look good on a black C4? I really like the looks of this wheel but don't know if it would look to modern on my car....WW

I'm not a fan of painted wheels, stick with the chrome

Either #2 or #4 might be ok.

If you go with black wheels of any kind it is my opinion that you 100% have to have something (like the stripe on the lip) to break up the wheel and the tire.

Black Vettes look good with black, gun metal, chrome and silver wheels.

If I was you, I would go with black powder coated and no stripe. Paint the calipers
red and please dont use those joe urines red calipers covers. Only garage queen and Corvette Club people buy those.

I like the black (or comp grey) Z06 spiders the best. That said, I like 17" wheels on C4's, I can't say how it will look.

Do you at least have the 13" J55 brake option? Those are gonna make your brakes look small.
