Default Ruff Racing or Z06 wheels?

need some opinions on my wheel selection. The Z06 wheels will be 18x10.5 in the rear and 17x9.5 in the front. The Ruff Racing will be 18x9.5 in the rear and 18x8.5 in the front. They will be going on a 2000 WS6 pic is attached.

So are you only looking at Chrome wheels?
Black(or dark color) or silver finish wheels would also look good on a NBM car.

I cant stand the C6 Z06... They look like FWD wheels

Honestly, I like your current setup best but the Ruff Racing would be a close second.

Thanks for the opinions, ive done a little looking around and have leaned away from the Z06's and more towards the Ruff's or even maybe a deep dish mesh type wheel. Definitely sticking with the chrome finish though
