Might as well just stick with factory thin spokes in comparison if you ask me. Which you didn't, I understand that. A lot cheaper though for basically the exact same look.

I don't have them but I will eventually, I agree they look similar but IMO much nicer.

To op of those choices I like the sp100's in the finish pictured

Funny thing is, I thought so too, however the only 505As I see, besides on my car, are on the forum. When I attend shows or local car and coffee events, people ask me about the wheels like I discovered them and as if they have never seen them before.

Over a thousand bucks for each wheel? That is insane.
I will stay with my OEM magnesium wheels.

570 because they come in 18s and I would go with a brushed center/polished lip.

I would choose the sp500's. That's what i have on my C5 vert. Those and the 505A's just seem like they were made for the C5. If I was choosing from your list i would say the DS570's. They have a nice modern look and aggressive look/deep dish and no bolts/clean look to them.

I have seen some of these new wheels in person at the factory and the pictures don't do them justice. Just remember the Vette wont support the large lips shown in the pictures.

Get what YOU like. I have C6 CHROME, OEM wheels.
A lot of bling.

The other thing is that you can't tell what any of them look like when the car is moving.

Yea, 1k per wheel and over 4k per set is pretty insane, the quality is top notch but man you can still get some some really nice wheels for $1500-2000. I do like the DS570 the best though.
