Default New Wheels For The Vert

Got my new Z06 Motorsports from House Of Wheels put on and finally took some pics. Tell me what you guys & gals think. They are stock C5sizes. Had just bought new Mich run flats about 2 months ago so I decided to stay stock. Also put my blackwing on..

Personally I prefer the 2yk wheels. Would these look different on a coupe versus a vert??
