Default Looking for wheel opinions

So I bought these wheels last year and really liked them at first but I've come to feel like they just don't look right anymore. I've been looking at post after post on here looking at what others are putting on their cars and I've found a bunch I like but I'm really picky. I've always been the guy that wants to be different and stand out from the "norm".

So here are a few pics and I'd like to get some opinions on what you guys would think would look good on my car. I'm really partial to keeping the black look but I'm open to anything from black, silver or maybe even chrome.

Pretty much anything without rivets would be better. Definitely stay black though.

I think it is the rivets I'm not a fan of. To give you an idea what I'm leaning towards is the C6 Spyders. Some people have them obviously but not as common as the TT2's or most of the other corvette wheels.

A dab of black paint on the rivet heads could fix that....

This might be a perfect candidate for some miro 111's... I love mesh wheels on a t.a. they're the first ones in this thread.

^^ Those look perfect. Another reason I'd like to change is I wanna go to bigger brakes and my current front wheels are only 17".
