man, you need to lay off the thread whoring with those rims. every wheel thread i read about someone asking what wheels would look best, you have to put in a shameless plug for yours. make an ad in the classifieds and leave it alone.

as for your question, any of those will look good, i have seen them all on NBM z's. it just depends on how you want to finish out the look of your car. if you want to keep it bright and clean looking, with chrome inserts, billet grille, then go with chrome, here's a pic of mine w/ chrome Z06, they look great, also, 10.5" will widest you can find in the Z06's.
mine:

but if you want to make it darker and not so bling you can always go with the grey or black Z06's, jsut depends on how you want to accent the rest of the car.

I know there's a lot of people that say the Z06s are too popular, but I think they look great. I would go with the chrome.

Well I went Chrome. If I had to do it over again I would have got OEM Zo6's or just plain silver 17/9.5 ZR1's up front and 17/11's out back. Black ZR1's can be pulled off. But don't put any chrome or silver accents on the car like I did. If you get black ZR1's. Do a black billet grille and do the black headlight mod or Halo's if you like. Me personally I would do the headlight mod. old Pick BTW
