I don't want to offend anyone, Just my opinion.

I have seen C4s wearing C5 rims. I have thought to myself that just seems like they are trying to be like the C5 that they are not.

I wonder if the C6 crowd is thinking" those poor C5 guys try so hard to be like us" when we use their appearance items like wheels.

Out of your three choices though, I prefer the top pix. What ever they are called.

Since CCW isn't a choice I'd say the C6 Z rims.

I'm not much for the "cross-generation" thing either. I'm not a huge fan of any of those - but I believe that you should pick one that you like and go for it. It's your money and your car!

Sorry I can't help you with your choice.....

Just received the C6 Z06 chromies from Bob's and car is currently at dealer getting installed. So you know my choice, and by the way, they are replacing C6 standard chromies, which I bought last year, but once I saw the new C6 Z06 chromies, I had to have them. Zuti

Maybe another poll with more choices? It seems most people pick the C6 Z wheels because there just the best of the three that you offerred.

Pic #1 is what they called Z07.
I would get Z07 wheels because they are not stock C6 wheels.
Just my $0.02.
