Need help deciding which wheels to go for guys.
Next spring I am gonna sell my chrome OEM rims and get a set of repro rims. I need a custom one of a kind look as there are a few C6 VR Z's still around here with chrome rims. I like the black spyders with red pinstripe or the 60th ann. cup wheels with red pinstripe. I think both would be a fine choice. Yes I still love black wheels as they have more of a tuner exotic look (hell every exotic from Europe has black rims of some design nowadays) and seem to make the red paint pop. My buddy has black repro ZR1 rims. I love my chrome but it doesn't seem as mean looking or exotic.. more pretty.. muscle car like... so here are my 2 choices.. Either would go good with my gloss black ZR1 rear spoiler.

Those look nice... yeah they only have the Cup wheels in satin black which is 40% more glossy than matte and 60% less glossy than pure gloss which is like glass. Too shiny for me... Your rims look great. 
I have never had a pinstripe wheel so I wanna have something different and new to me. I like either really. Figured a satin or matte black would look better than gloss.

You might want to give Daniel at Finspeed a holler. Custom finish options galore, including ceramic coating. He can also alter wheel profile, as they engineer and machine the wheels in house. Fantastic customer service. I rarely give vendors plugs, but will for these folks.

Browsed their website. Great looking stuff. Way out of my price range though. I am talking $1100 US for a set or repros, can't swing $8-900 a rim.

Of the two you've shown here, I'd go with the Spyders myself. Some of that is because I have and like the Spyders look/design.
Good luck with your choice and happy hunting..

Thanks Mr. Jean, and no worries Michael, sh*t happens. I love the spyders but only available like I said in gloss black.. so I am leaning toward the satin black cup wheels right now... thanks for the suggestions!
