Please post your vote:

Here are some photos of prototype Callaway aluminum wheels (minus the production center caps and Callaway logo cast in the rim section).

Which wheel finish do you think would look best?
- Silver Painted (as shown here)
- Brushed Aluminum with Clear Coat
- Polished Aluminum with Clear Coat
- Chrome
- Hyper Black (black chrome)
- Other?
The only existing wheels are painted as shown so I don't have photos to post with other finishes.

Production wheels will be available around Jan 1.

I think it would depend on the color of the car. While I generally prefer polished or chrome, many colors just don't look good with that.

I like the painted silver, but polished might look good on certain colors. :thumbs

Owning a Black C6 I believe the Callaway wheel would look STUNNING in Black. Painted would look great as long as the finish was durable to chips ect.

The wheels will be offered in standard C6 fitments to reuse the OEM tires.
