Default With Or Without Rivets

Alright, Im about to make a nice little purchase on wheels here. I was saving up to buy some high cost bling bling wheels but have decided to go the less expensive route and use the extra cash for under the hood.

Now I know everyone has zo6 wheels.. blah blah blah. I know! they're played out... etc etc. I dont really care since I am just looking to give my car a little new look from the stock wheels.

I've decided to go with 18" all around in the black zo6 w/ polished lip style. Not a big fan of rivets myself but they dont look too bad on the Motorsport wheels. My question is should I go with the Motorsport wheels with rivets or the wheels from Factory Restoration (??) without the rivets. I would be going thru TomZ Wheels from ebay for this and the price is just right for either set. I am actually leaning towards the FR Wheels w/o rivets but not too sure on quality and finish as I have not seen these wheels in person.

Anyone have any feedback on the FR wheels? Should I go w/ Motorsport wheels w/ rivets or FR Wheels w/o rivets????

Help me out here

I thought they would be a bitch to clean but they're easy. Plus I think that they make the rims not so plain. IMHO

The Z06 motorsports (Chrome or black w/ rivets) are probably the ugliest Z06 wheels I've ever seen.
