Default Which wheels to buy?

I am ready to shop for some wheels. I have narrowed my choice
between black Z06 Motorsports or CCW black Classic Streets. I will go
with 18x9.5 front & 18x10.5 rear.

I'm particularly insterested in "the look" and on how they will handle
compared to the stock size(C5). Keep in mind that these are for street
use only.By the way, my vette is black.

I'd appreciate all inputs. Thanks.

The ccw wheels will be more expensive than the motorsports, however I don't think you can go wrong either way. Keep us informed.

The CCW's will be lighter and stronger than the MS's.
