Default Wheel Choices!

Hey guys, I figured i should ask the opinion of all the corvette experts....I am kind of set on 2 different possibilities for my BLACK Z06.
I am thinking about the 19/20 chrome Z06 wheel setup or the 18/19 chrome Z07 wheel setup......Do you think these sets of wheels will look good?....which would look better???

You really can't go wrong here, either set will look awesome. Personally I'm leaning toward the chrome Z07's. They make for a great new look
Should have been standard issue on the C6!

I have the chrome thin spokes and would KILL for a set of chrome z06 wheels. Don't know why but, they just hit me right. Now if I could just hide the cost from the wife.........

I'd go the chrome z06. I like them better than the new ones. Black w/polished lip would also be

The Z07s would look very good on your car.
