Default which wheels for nbm formula

I was wanting to get a set of chrome c6 z06 wheels for a while now but these roh drift Rs have gotten my attention which do you think would look best? Any opinions welcome. I like the the design of each but for different reasons and I think either would look good. I like the C6 Z06s because of the thin and long 10 spoke that are evenly spaced but I like the Drift Rs because of the 3' Lip and the slight groove on the spoke. They are each done tastefully and I cant really make up my mind I will sleep on it this week and also read your opinions. Any owners of each are welcome to share previous experience as well.

the ROH wheel seems waaay to much like an import wheel, i thought we were cutting it with the hpr5 and evo wheels, but the ROH wheels i think are just pushing it way to much.

nbmgreg why do you say it is an import wheel? they don't have busy reivets and they have up to a 3' lip they are a simple 5 spoke with some definition in the spoke please comment because yes I could see imports with them just as much as an fbody just wanted to hear your reasoning

its just something about them... something with the spokes, ya they have a lip but the spokes bow out, and it just looks kinda ricer-ish. i think more "flat" looking spokes look better, but than again, it would be cool if you could find a picture with those ROH's on a f-body, that will really give us an idea of what they will look like.

What about all the old school cars, all have large lips to them? I just got the HPR5's in. they are a great looking wheel. Standard 5 spoke, lip, and the rivits/motorsport. ZO6 motorsport wheels rice 2? Just dont see the reasoning, just old school brought back new school. As for pictures of the Drift R's, heres a photo gallary, camaro and trans am with them, but all I could find were black. I thougth about them in my search, I dont think they are too bad. I rememebered the pictures, so yea..

thats exactly what i needed, pics of them on a car... i must admit, they do look alot better in those pictures rather than the example posted for the thread, in the thumbnail from the threadstarter the wheel looks fake, looks like the lip is very minimal due to the outward bending spokes, and it just looks like an import wheel. but on the cars they look alittle different, i dont like them on that red car, or the GTO, but they look good on the trans am, and yes they resemble a hpr5 in a way, or even a cobra wheel with a lip as seen here:

they do look alot better on a car rather than the picture provided, now the question is, what sizes do they come in?
