Default Which rims to go with?

Asking for opinions on which wheel would look best on my 99 Silver Vert. I currrently have Ruff 19", 20" 281's. They are nice and had no problems with them untill I put new brake pads on. And now I need to run spacers in the front. Now I get a bad vibration around 70 - 80MPH. I drive aggressively so Its a big concern to me. So I was looking into these Modular Concept Wheels. Just cant decide which set would look best on my C5. Here are a few picks on the Modular Concept Wheels I like:














hERE ARE A FEW PICS OF MY VETTE:

I'd say change the brake pads again. Not the rims.

The rims on the silver vette are nothing less than pimp status. But the ones on the red vette are fukin breath taking. I'd go with those. How much do those bad boys run for?

They are pricey but not as bad as I would of thought. They are on par with HRE's. They start around $4,500 till the sky is the limit. They also have them in Carbon Fiber. Thought of having the lip done in Fiber Carbon but worry about over doing it.

Thanks to those who like my current set up. I wouldn't be changing them if it were not for the bad vibration i get at 70 - 80MPH. Never had the problem till I had to run 1/8" spacers after installing new brake pads. I guess Ruff's QC is not up to par. Looks like they did there test fit on one that had at least 50% brake pa wear. After new pads went in the caliper axpands with the new pads and the rim hits the caliper. So now I haveto run 1/8" spacers!
