I have to be honest, I'm really surprised that most people are saying they like the Z06s better, especially after so much complaining about them being generic and overused. To be honest, I like them better too (even despite the outrageous price difference). I think I'll like the HREs better with the 17s on the front.

Keep the opinions coming though!

HRE's are some fantastic and expensive wheels but I don't think they really go with the car.. Maybe once they are cleaned up and you go to a 17 in front it may look better

I don't know why, but the HRE's just look "cheap" to me (maybe it's just because they're dirty or at a weird camera angle??)... They are still better than the Z06 wheels though.

I think the lack of polish and tire shine really throws the HRE's off.

Thanks for the comments.

Green Camaro is the DD, and I've been too busy to clean it.

I can understand if the "rivets" (as they are frequently referred to as) serve no purpose on high dollar wheels, but they clearly serve a purpose to producing a quality three piece wheel. To each his/ her own. Just like every opinion, every ***** has a Mustang... or however that saying goes.
