Which Wheels?
Iforged Aero:
Iforged Flux:
Or these: Motorsport Black C6 Wheels:
I know the Iforged are ALOT more, but they are also good quality, so i just want you guys to base this on looks.
I have a 2006 Black Coupe w/ Z51

I Forged Aero is my vote for the wheels you asked about.
I won't criticize anyone for their choices, but as long at you asked, I will tell you that I am not a fan of black wheels at all. On some cars, they look nice sitting still from 20 feet or less away, in good light. In any other condition they simple aren't there - you don't see the detail of the wheel at all most of the time.
I have to agree with the CCW comments, but then I'm a little partial

Just don't forget that far and away 5-spokes are the most common form factor of wheels out there. For whatever reason.
So 5-spoke will look great and for whatever reason inherently 'right' or 'in style'.
6-spoke will look great too, not necessarily 'out of style', but just naturally different than the crowd.
The style goal is your choice.

I like the rivets, gives it a muscular look.
