Default Which wheels?

Im a high polish guy, curious on thoughts between these 2 designs Which one looks the best on the C8, both will be in high polish. I feel dark blue car looks more muscle, gray car looks a little more exotic. Thanks guys, getting ready to order wheels.

I think the wheels that are on the gray car look more at home on a C8 and the wheels on the blue car look more like what would be on a Mustang.

blue cars wheels are GENERIC as stated and an OLD design. The gray car wheels are much more modern, new age and look way better on a very modern, Mid-Engine design.

The wheel design on the gray car looks better which surprises me because if I saw the wheels by themselves I think I would have preferred the other wheel design.

I think the blue looks nice and understated but I almost ordered the grey car’s wheels so I’d have to go with the grey. I think designs that have that rotating bias look great on the C8. Ultimately, I couldn’t decide between styles and sizes so I ended up ordering 2 sets...

The blue ones are Forgestar F14s, a great wheel. The wheels on the gray one suite the C8 better though.

Forgestars are pure garbage. Cheap wheels and cheaply made. Stay away.
