Need wheel opinion
If you had to choose between 2 wheels for a C5 Z06, which would you go with?
Chrome Z06 wheels or Chrome Motorsport Z06 wheels? If anyone has a silver C5 with either above mentioned Z06 wheel that can post or PM a pic, it'd be appreciated.

I'd probably go with the plain Z06 wheels - don't think I would like messing with the little rivets and trying to keep that area clean. But, I've never had to mess with wheels with the rivets on them either so it may be easier than I am thinking to keep them looking good.

You can't go wrong with either. I would go chrome myself. I love the bling of the chromes.

Motorsports! The rivets make the wheel look awesome. Turns heads every time.

I really like the simplicity of the Argent grey Z06 wheels, and I prefer the ones from the '01 - they were forged rather than cast.

My bad! I'm only interested in the C5 Z wheels.
Thanks all who have posted or sent me pics
Since all but 1 of the pics I've received were of the chrome Z06 wheels, I'm guessing that the motorsport wheels are not as popular. I think they look good, but I've not seen them on a silver Z06 yet. Not sure if you'll agree, but the car's body color, to me, really can change how a wheel will look. I like the factory Z's, but I think it's too much silver with the quicksilver paint.
