Default Help me identify these wheels plus a POLL

Currently have c5 z06 motorsports on my pewter 99 FRC Vette.

Thinking about trading my c5 z06 motorsports for these wheels. I have searched and can't find what these wheels came off of originally. He has them on his camaro now and bought them from a guy with a c5.
Option 1 - 18" black wheels




Here are the wheels I currently have on my C5

Option 2 - 17/18 c5 z06 motorsports





Please vote in the poll and tell me which wheels you think would look better on my FRC. Thanks!

Was never a fan of motorsports plus the first set of wheels look much cleaner.

They kinda look like 5th gen wheels just smaller, idk what wheels those are but I don't really like them at all. I also don't like your rivets on your c5 wheels :/ tough one ..

Personally, I don't like either one of them but if I had to choose, I'd go with Option 1 just because the others have been played out and I don't care at all for rivets whether they're real or not.

I don't know what those top wheels are but they are much cleaner and better looking than the C5Z wheels with rivets.

C5Z wheels are already ugly and busy enough without adding more stuff to them.

Are those the ls2 "gumby" rims?

C5z with rivets are horrid.
