Greetings

These look so much better then the Chinese knock off Z06 wheels and I would bet the quality is far superior.

I like them!

Not bad, but I kind of like the Z06 straight split spokes a little better. I would like to see these in chrome with a full side shot of the car.

The design is good but are they beefy enough to do the C6 justice?

Don't like them, there are too many good looking wheels out there for me to even consider these.

I like split spoke wheels in general, and maybe it's just the angle or something peculiar to that pic, but those do not look attractive at all to me.
