I would like to see what they look like as well, but I am not sure I am willing to let anyone else drive it, so it is a real dilemma

There have been a number of videos made now with the ZL1 on the track. I would imagine some would have some clips of the black rims in motion.

Flat black wheels don't show up really well but glossy black will because they reflect light still. Machined face is the best of both worlds, stealth and yet still have a touch of flash. I had ZR1 gloss black repro wheels on my C6 but I also had bright blue calipers to make them pop.

Drake,
Check out the Road and Track GTR vs ZL1 post for a shot of the black wheels in motion.

I think they look pretty cool, but then my order will include them so I may be prejudiced toward them.

Don't tell him that... Drake seems like the type that might actually try that.
