I had a set of niche shock rims on a 300zx. They are were a pain for tire mounting and balancing. They look decent but too ricey for a vette. I didn't like them enough to keep them for that long though. A picture would help to get an idea of the style.

I have them and love them, I didnt want to put z06 wheels on my car since its not a z06 nor put on C6 wheels since its not a C6, I wanted it to be different and couldnt stand my stock wheels.

I love the Venice, I actually almost got those. Keep in mind you most likely have to change your tires, I changed mine to Toyos, since the smallest rim they make I believe is 20's. The quality is way better then I thought they were going to be, I actually made the dealer get one so I could inspect it in person before I committed to buying them. I get alot of compliments on them :-)

Never seen the Niche wheels on a vette, but I do know that they are quality wheels, so which ever wheel you go with will be done right!!! Good luck with the wheel choice.

Here's a forum members car with Niche F18s:
As with most MHT sub-brands, they are typically heavy, cast, 1pc wheels made specifically for bling. I have no direct experience with them though.
