Default Iceing on the Cake

We all take pride in our Ride, so I want it to look right. Which of these two wheels do you think would look great on a Nassau Blue C5 coupe. I have a week to decide. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

Of those two, the Grand Sport wheels would look best on your car IMO.

The GS wheels look like they belong on an Escalade, not a Corvette. I can't stand them.

IMO the zr1 wheels are to busy - although not a big fan of the gs wheels I would pick them if these were my only choices

I like the thin spokes on my 2003 coupe best.
