What looks better on a formula?
what color rims exactly? both rims can look good, but it's hard to say which i'd prefer without knowing the color of the rims you're looking at, or the color of the car. also, rims should fit with the car as a whole, so it also depends on the direction you are going with on other accessories (emblems, badges, possibly stripes).
in short, post up a pic of your car, and let us know about it
typically i would just go with c6's, cause i love em, but i've seen some cars that really look great with the c5's. it all depends on the overall...

The first three are the pics and theme of my car and the last pic is a camaro with the same type of rims i'm "thinking" about getting...Should i leave it alone, or swap to the c6 style? I'm not sure if i should deal with the hassle, or maybe save up a bit and get something completely different...I like the look of my car now, just thinking of other options...Maybe chrome, but i heard they are a pain to clean...

honestly, i'd take the 3rd option, and "save up a bit and get something completely different. really, you can get
some great looking rims for around the same price as vette replicas, or a little more. although i like both sets of
rims on my car, there are rims i really wish i had gotten instead, especially since they were around the same
price. personally, im a huge fan of RPM 505's, A.Z.A. Z2's, HP EVOS... al similar in design, but i absolutely love
the look they have.
but, i must say, the formula up there does look pretty nice with the c5's on it. and i also think the c6's would
look good with the same finish as the c6's. between the 2 i'b probably go with the c6's. the best c5's to me
are the ones that are black, with the machined finish face, especially in the deep dish.

You guys need to keep in mind I'm trading for these rims. The guy wants mind. So, we're trading and I'm going to throw him an extra 100 on top of it. So basically I would have the c6's for 100. I just need to figure out if it will look better. The c5's do look clean...

The pics shown by Trust are actually American Racing 200S rims. The widest you can get is a 9.5" with a 17" diameter. I am unsure of the price on these.
I personally love my Torque Thrust M's in Anthracite. If you copy them you will be basically end up with a clone of my car.
They are usually pretty well priced and you can get a 10.5" rim in this model. You used to be able to get the staggered set 9.0" and 10.5" for about $700.

The only thing i don't like about the c6's is that they're fatter on the spokes. I like the thinner look, but i'll have to see it on my car to ultimately decide. The guy has the rims on a 94 Z28 right now and it fits. He beat in the fender a bit and said it doesn't rub unless he has about 4 people in the car...I'm just not sure if i want to go through having an issue like that...Because then money starts to add up. He is doing a trade with me. I'm giving him a little extra on top of the trade though. Plus, i have to pay to get the front wheels balanced...
