Default Need help making decision

I have a 99 TR Coupe. I was trying to decide between Chrome Z06 motorsports or Foose Speedsters. 19/20 combo. Which one? If anybody is bored and would like to Photoshop the cars red or put Z06s on coupe, that would be helpful. Thanks

1 vote for the speedsters ... but then I like to be different.

Lots of cars with the Z06 style wheels out there.

I like the Speedsters better on the coupe, and the Z06 chromies better on the FRC or Z06.

Get the motorsports - you'll save a lot of money. Then you can take that extra money and buy new tires or other mods. Besides, the motorsports look better.

I've never liked the blingy deign of the speedstars. Personally, I prefer a race oriented or a clean wheel... pretty much anything from www.ccwheel.com is good.

As for the Z06 wheels can you say cobra R wheels on any mustang? Yeah they're getting played out.

I say go with the motorsports. They look meaner and more purposeful.

I like them both! I originally went with z06 wheels then a few months later
I ordered CCWs. My advice is, take your time! Mull it over, make sure the
wheels you choose are the ones you want. Look at more wheels before
you decide. See how you feel in a week, I can almost guarantee you will
have a clearer perception of the wheels you want. Drive on...

Thanks Talon90 for the photoshop. I know that the motorsports are played out, but they look so clean and sporty. I want to be different but if they look good its hard to bread away. I really want asanti wheels, but they are little too pricey. The only reason i chose the foose wheels is because of the price and they look good too. If anyone has any other suggestions, please feel free to chime in.
Thanks

I really like the Z06 motorsport wheels, yea a lot of people have them, but they are popular for a reason

I was very close to getting these myself, but fell in love with the CCW's

Both look good on the C5. I like the Foose wheels simply because they are different, but you won't go wrong with either one.
