They actually look really good on a lot of cars. They just don't match the styling of the vette though. Black/dark grey isn't half bad though.
A lot of people put them on Blazers and S10's, and they look pretty good.

My experience was just the opposite. I tried to sell a mint set of them without tires for about $150 without even a call. No interest whatsoever. I put a old junk set of runflats on them and advertised them for $400. The sold the first day without any haggling on price.

I like the Wagon Wheels with or without the stickers!
First time I saw a C5 in person in 1997, I knew I had to have one!

Wagon wheels are certainly not the most sophisticated wheels out there, but are fine for the OEM look IMO.
That said, when I finally decided to go with the GS theme on my '97, I bought a set of Speedline Z06 wheels to complete the package. Car just needed an upgrade from WW to make the GS theme work.
I will say this - the WW is a whole lot better built than many of the aftermarket pieces out there that, while they may look nice, don't have nearly the engineering or quality control of the OEM wheels.

sorry, the wagon Wheels aren't the best looking wheel I've ever seen, but some of you have the ugliest damn aftermarket wheels on your car I've ever seen.
Here's my first place winner with my Wagon Wheels. Don't be jealous. They're mine. And just like you don't give a **** if I like your wheels, I don't give a **** if you like mine.

Wagon wheels always have been, and always will be, hideous.
