Torn!

I just bought a set of oem chrome 5 spoke wheels but when I look at my car I get second thoughts about putting them on. I like my car to "be mine" when you see it, however there is something about having the chrome original look. I think the c6 zo6 wheels on my car sets it off a bit however I need tires and I know they are going to cost me more as well. I'm torn on what to do.....anxious to hear some opinions.

Yes, it is your car, but since you asked, I would put the OEM chrome wheels on the car - On white, I just like the look of the chrome than the comp gray that the C6 wheels appear to be.

I would go with the chrome. They stand out where the grey are just blending in.

Are they "chromed" oem? OEM didn't come in chrome, but rather in polished aluminum with clearcoat. I'm a big fan of OEM in C5 wheels, with the possible exception of the 97-99's. The OEM thin spokes that have been chromed look very good and you don't have to worry about the clear coat getting corroded underneath or peeling. An OEM set in good condition also look good.
