IMHO...the Wagon wheels are hideous...i don't know what chevy was thinking when they designed those.
In my local vette club (which is about 90% C5 or newer) that's the most popular swap, switch from wagon wheels to the Z06 or 5 spoke wheels.

I think the wagon wheels look best, I hate them under the C5 but they look nice under a C3 (if they had more dish they would be even better), I feel the others look too modern and have the spokes much too thin...but luckily different strokes for different folks

I have both Z06 and wagon wheels, right now I am leaning tward the wagon wheels because of the wider spokes. Once I decide which ones I like I will buy some chrome wheels in that style.
