Car looks good to me.
Both sets of wheels look very nice on the car. My personal preference is not to have so much opening between the spokes.. But that is a matter of personal preference..
The B pillar looks good in black with the dark tint, not sure it legal, but its a nice look.

Car looks good with either set of wheels, but I like the machine faced Z06 style in the first pic better. Now if the CCWs were high polished, my opinion would change.

The BSM are staying, lol. I don't like the Nassau Blue without them, they help bring some stability to the dynamic color by breaking it up a tad. Certain colors the BSM's work with and this is one IMO.
I'd have honestly kept the old wheels save for two things. One, they were cheap, and trash. The clear coat was separating from the actual wheel, and while not peeling, it looked HORRID. Two, they wouldn't clear big brakes.

I vinyl wrapped the top back in 2010. It's holding up ok, but showing it's age. Will probably pull the vinyl this year and go either with a gloss liquid vinyl or just have it painted, haven't decided yet.
