Default What do you think about this wheel?

I've been considering the black chrome Z06 rims... and also black chrome spider wheels (the "new" z06 rims). I can't find a pic of the Z06 spiders in black chrome though!
So I'm stuck between those 2 choices of wheels, then the choice of which finish I want.

This is what the black chrome would look like:

I can't decide if I wanna get something like this or just get the "chrome version of what I have now."

The second C6 in that pic has C6Z style wheels...not the gumby split-spokes (first pic). If I had to pick one of the three, I'd probably just pick the normal C6 rims.

z06 motorsports have some awesome deep dish black or gunmetal z06 style rims that look SOOOOOO Clean. I wish i would have bought them instead of the regular c6z wheels.


These are what I have on my car.


These are what i wish i would have got.
