Default Which Modular Concept wheel would look best?

Asking for opinions on which wheel would look best on my 99 Silver Vert. I currrently have Ruff 19", 20" 281's. They are nice and had no problems with them untill I put new brake pads on. And now I need to run spacers in the front. Now I get a bad vibration around 70 - 80MPH. I drive aggressively so Its a big concern to me. So I was looking into these Modular Concept Wheels. Just cant decide which set would look best on my C5. Here are a few picks on the Modular Concept Wheels I like:
1)





2)





3)





Here are a few pics of my Vette:

I do too! My only gripe is the bad vibration I get with them at 70 - 80 MPH dur to running 1/8" spacers. I worry about a mishap at running at high speeds. Would the vibration be a cocern? Should I just not worry about it?

I am not a big fan of the rivet look but the wheels on both of those Z06s look sharp Those wheels would almost change my mind. I am afraid to ask how much they cost.

I like the ones on the Merc best. If you have to have black lips, I'd say the ones on the red Z06.

I still think the ones on the Silver Z are my favorite!

I love that wheel on a silver car. The polished ones on the merc look bad too!

I think any of these will be a nice addition to your car

People see the pic's of the wheels and are afraid to ask us how much they cost Seriously These wheels are on par with HRE, Fikse, 360 Forged. They are definitely a top tear wheel manufacturer but not out of line.

We also offer a great forum discount so just pm me for pricing if your interested.

Default Keep your old ones

Keep the ones you now have. All look good, but I like the current ones.
