Default Wheel ?

Looking to purchase Z06 style wheels for my 07 Monterey red vert and considering both the standard chrome and the standard chrome motorsport wheels.

Any thoughts or oppinions on which might look better & pros or cons? Are the motorsport version tougher to clean since there are the river pattern in them?


Thanks

If you like to spend tedious hours of cleaning wheels then go with the Motorsport version as the rivets are killers for cleaning. I like the plain no nonsense C6 chromies.

I love mine as they are nice and the easiest to clean.

My vote the C6 chrome wheels.

The motorsports are going to require a little bit more work to clean, but not enough to discourage you from buying them if you like the look. All it takes is a soft bristle brush and it will remove 99% of the dust/brake dust that a fair weather Vette will experience.

Personally, I don't like how they make the wheel diameter seem smaller than it is...but thats me.

My vote would be for the std Z06 chrome. Would not like rivets on my DD.

Check out Atomic Autosports:http://www.atomicautostore.com/?pg1-cid52.html Great prices and excellent service.

Says it all in my opinion as well, I love the looks and the ease of cleaning them.

This is exactly the car I have! Nice choice!

I am considering having my polished Alum. wheels chromed or maybe the '08 Split Spoke chromies
