C5 gen opinion needed...

I've got a chance to change the look of my car. I can either keep my current wheels which are 19/20 C6 motorsports or go back to hypersilver C6Z 18/19 set up. Which looks better?
Here's a current pic...

or with C6Z wheels....

I like the Hyper Silver better. But then again I really do not like black wheels on Vettes.

C6Z's are much better looking on your color.

I like them both, leaning more towards the black, but the real thing you need to do is lower that bad boy and any wheel will look 10 times better

Thanks guys! Keep 'em coming. I'm about 50/50 as I like them both. The C6Z wheels look good but they're a dime a dozen (everyone and their mom has them). The Black C6 rims not very many have (I've not seen a coupe w/ 19/20 like mine yet) and its a different look. That being said I'm getting tired of the look and want something different but not sure what.
