Tough Choice on Wheels

I need to decide by tomorrow the latest which wheels to get.

The two I am deciding between are the new c6 chrome wheels or chrome c5 zo6 wheels. I think the new c6 wheels are a little too boring of a 5 spoke design and too flat...plus I don't want it to seem that my car is a c6. I like the chrome zo6 wheels. I believe they match the body perfect but the problem with those is that they are very common.

Can you please leave your opinion and some pictures would be appreciated as well.

Thank you in advance.

I just got, yet to install, the Z06 chrome. I thought a long time about it. I was willing to go high dollar, but no matter how many times I looked, those Z06's always rang my bell.

I like the chrome c6, but both look good.

black Z06 or Black C6 rims would look so much better on the white

I'd go with black Z06 motorsports. I personally don't like chrome wheels on light colored cars.

Of the two, I'd say go with the Z06 Chromies. I went a different route. I put Z06 machined face wheels from House of wheels on and get nothing but compliments. Good luck with your choice.
