Both look great but I think the GS wheels are the best... in black... and not only look better but are easier to maintain. Win, win.
However, that's completely subjective and it's hard for any of us to pick someone else's preference

I guess the real question, is which wheel does the OP prefer? OP you already have the GS Wheels, now look at a pic of a black Z06 or GS that has Z06 wheels side by side with your current pic. That should help a lot. What don't you like about the current GS wheels you have on your car? I'm guessing you aren't looking to buy a second set of wheels, since you asked which people prefer and plan to have either the GS or Z06 wheels. As for my thoughts, I think both look good (not taking into consideration cleaning) BUT if I were "replacing" the wheels, I would most likely go with an aftermarket wheel. I've been known to buy a second set of OEM type wheels, but they were to be used with winter tires and bought rather cheaply.

I think that the Z06 wheel is the ExtraMostBestest OEM wheel all time as far as appearance... second is the ‘70s Trans Am snowflake wheel. I typically install aftermarket wheels, but never considered swapping these out. Only negative, they are a PITA to clean, but worth it.
