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???

I agree with staying within the generation, but every pic I've seen of the Z07s, I really like. Those would probably be my choice if I didn't order some iForged wheels.

I just got ZO7 wheels in the hyperblack finish. I kinda went out on a limb since I've only seen these wheels in pictures and I must say I'm very very happy with them. The silver finish almost looks like it's polished aluminum.

checkout the "new" Z06 wheels (C6 Z06)!

they look a little bit better than the Z07 wheels.

C6 Motorsports worth checking out. I agree about the generational issue, but these wheels are really sweet and worth considering......
