Default Does anyone like these wheels?
Guys & Gals, I'm just curious, does anyone like these wheels? This is a sales image from a dealer site and the wheels caught my eye. They remind me of the wheels on my daughter's Honda Civic - IMHO they don't look right on a Corvette. Yes? / No?

The GCA 15-spoke wheels. Not my cup of tea but they actually look pretty nice. There are pics of 2 cars with them in this thread and 1 car with the 7-spoke wheels:

not a fan of all the spokes. Too busy and looks like a ferris wheel.

Too busy. Too symmetrical. Too Euro.

Not right for a Corvette.
