They won't look good on your car. I'd rather have a set of deep dish C5's over those and CCW SP500's above all.

Between THOSE two, I'd take #1.

I just don't like the design of where the spoke meets the rim on #2.

#1 the ZR1 replicas. I don't like Grand Sport wheels even on a C6's, let alone on a C5.

#2, BTW they are from the GS not the ZO6. Also, ZR1 wheels are harder to clean.

These are just my opinions, but I absolutely can't stand the look of the GS wheels because of how the spokes fork out at the rim. I also think the ZR1 replicas don't look too great in any size smaller than the originals. The smaller wheels make the spokes look too stubby.

Still, of the two, I'd go with the ZR1 replicas.

If you can find some CCW wheels at the same price as those reproduction wheels, please pass that info on. I'd love a set at that price.

As for the OP's question, I'd go with option #2.

I much prefer a simpler look. Give me #2. #1 is too 'busy'. Either way I wish they were deeper.

No. 2 looks easier to clean and would be good with nice painted calipers. I dealt with that company and thier customer service is the best.
