Z06 wheel looks better on the Z06 and the Grand Sport wheel looks better on the Grand Sport. Both wheels look better in Black !

Here are the GS wheels that came on my car from the factory, installed on a ZR1.

GS wheels allow the calipers to be a little more visable.

I prefer the Grand Sport wheels either silver or chrome myself. Plus the ZO6 wheels no matter what color are a big PITA to keep clean.
Just saying!
