Default Z06 or C6

I'm looking to get some chrome rims and I realy love the Z06s. I also saw the C6s Tomz has and now I cant decide. I know alot of people have the Z06s and they look great. I'm deadlocked. Opinions?

I have been looking at both, but the C6 wheels don't look right to me. I am wanting something different, but still want it to look like it fits with the car.

Those C6 rims look pretty sharp on the vehicle IMO. The rim I never thought belonged on an FBody was the C5 Z06 rim. All kinds of people with FBodies have them I know, just never worked for me. I Think the C6 Z06 rim will look good but I would prefer painted (especially grey or black) to chrome or polish.

I just seen some on ebay that look like the new C6 Z07's but they are not solid, they are like the old style Z06's but the shape of the new ones.
