Haha close... I have gunmetal ZR1s 17x9.5/11 on my Z, with a polished lip (but I'm curious how the C5 magnesium wheels would look on an Fbody). I still haven't seen these wheels on too many cars, only local one was a white LT1 Camaro around here. I think the gunmetal REALLY sets the SOM off very well and makes for a great combo and an alternative to chrome.

Here are a few pics, there are plenty more on my website www.reidonly.net .

Them's the one's. Is that a magnesium vette wheel in the last picture? You used to see a lot of those for sale. I've narrowed my search down to those, HRE competition C20 (I think) and the Kenisis like on the first gen. in Popular Hot Rodding (cover and page 28 I think).

I just did a quick search and this was all I could find for a pic, here is a set of the 50th anniversary magnesium Vette wheels (sort of look like the later wide spoke WS6 wheels). They actually look really badass on a black T/A!

Scratch those. That's not the look I was thinking of.

Back on topic, out of the choices offered, I would personally go with the chrome Z06 wheels. TT2's look awesome, but are too played out IMO. Also I don't like the rivets on the motorsports wheels.
