Default New wheels??????????

I have a 2004 vert. I am going to buy some chrome wheels for corvette Mike. I'm trying to decide which would look better on my red car the ZO 6 wheel with the rivites or without? Or just the same wheel thats on it now only in chrome? Or the new C6 wheel. Please help. I need some feedback. Thanks

Personally I like them without. But if I was to do it again, I'd go with the chrome Z07'S like these http://www.cruisinchrome.com/corvettec814slick.html

I have a Torch Red coupe. I bought Z06 chromies (without the rivets). I kept thinking that they would be a pain in the rear to clean. Without gives the Vette a "smoother" look to me.

The Z07 wheels are some great looking wheels and if I were to buy another set of wheels for my car, they would be right at the top of the list. I can't speak from experience, but I would think that the Motorsports would be a little more difficult to keep clean with the rivets. I have the chrome Z06 wheels and they do look good on the car, but now way too many people have them - time for something a little different without breaking the bank.

I agree!! But the chrome five spoke is a really classy wheel and looks great on the car!!
