Decided on the wheels. I will never miss the OEM polished aluminum's at all. Makes the car come to life! Have to share.

Looks good. I think the original rims looked good too though. You just have to stay on those polished aluminum rims to keep them sharp or they haze up pretty quick.

Looks good.

I recently went the exact opposite that you did.
My car spent 4 years with chrome Z06 wheels and is now back to 5 spoke Hi-Polished OEM's.

I love the clean 5 spoke look again....

Your car looks very nice.
