Default which wheel? I really need help

OK, I did the widebody conversion and wanted the following wheel



Only problem, the vendor couldn't give me a definite date. It wasn't his fault, but the projected arrival kept getting moved back until I was told that there was no anticipated due date.

So, I bought the following wheels



Got a phone call from the vendor and he said the wheels should be in, possibly, in 2 more weeks, no promises.

Here's my C6, I'm sure some of you recognize it.



My delemma, do I wait for wheel 1 or keep wheel 2 (the vendor is willing to take back the ones I bought since they have not yet been mounted).

HELP

I know you are anxious to complete the project but I wouldn't settle for anything less than perfection on your car.

I definitely would wait for the ordered wheels to arrive. They are your fist choice and IMHO look better than your second choice. What's a couple of weeks between friends?

Good luck with your decision. Can't wait to see the final product!!!
