Default TTII's or C6 Z06's?

What would you guys pick? I'm getting a set tonight!!! I need to decide, I'm leaning heavily towards the new Z06's, but some people think they're downright hideous, I like the sleek look and that's kinda what I'm goin for.
It'll be on a black Z LS1, SS Hood, Wings West 3 piece spoiler, and probably xenon gfx if I decide to put 'em on (already bought). BTW I want 18's, and Chrome (I love polished, but it's high maintenance)

Z07's (c6 z06) all the way. Just got mine on there. 18x9.5 and 18x11.

TTII's are nice but every car and golf cart has them. Same with ZR1's and z06 wheels. Had my ZR1's for 7 years and just plain got sick of looking at them. I like the y2k's and the z07's probably mostly because they are different and not everyone has them. Plus they really do look sharp on a black car!

You think Vette wheels are the only split 5 spoke out there that come stock? By putting a vette wheel on he is not trying to impersonate anything. Its just a wheel, not a whole identity. It also happens to size up very well with an fbody. ZR1's came on my car from the factory does that mean gm was trying to make it a vette?

I think I was one of the first to put C6 Z06's on an fbody but you guys are right, more and more people have them now. Just the way it goes. TTII's are just as popular so I think you need to decide which YOU like best and the heck with others think.

And I take issue with the comment about people with Z06 wheels trying to look like another car. That is total bullshit. Wheels could never make an fbody look like a vette. If I wanted a vette I would have bought a vette. fact is I needed wheels as my ZR1's were eggs and the C6 Z06 were different and I thought looked nice.

I had been thinking about the z07's and the y2k's for a while so I posted for pics and after seeing them on mike02z's car I made the decision to get them. The +53 offset is a lot closer to the +50 of the ZR1 than the +56 and +58 of the zo6 wheels as well. I run a 18x9.5 up from with a 275x35 on it and a 18x11 out back with a 315x30. ('ll switch to a 305x35 when they are available and these are burned up)
