Default ZO6 wheels or torque thrust which ones??

I'm needing some help in deciding which wheels to purchase. I was going with Torque Thrust II's till I saw these ZO6 wheels with the bolt patern around the lip. Which do you think would look more aggresive on my car? seeing how I can't photo shop we can only guess what they would look like.

I have had both on my car. With the TT2's I had the 17X11's in the back. Now I have OEM Z06 wheels with the 18X10.5 in the back. The stance of the car looks B@dass either way. You can't go wrong

I have Chrome AFS Z06 18/9.5/275's. I love them and i would suggest them. Ya alot of people have them but i still think they look badass. Look on ebay for AFS wheels. Thats where i got mine, and you can catch them pretty cheap.

I like the motorsports a lot better than regular z06. The TT2's are getting too common, while they do look good your car needs something different with the paint job and such. I think the motorsports would look a lot better.

Thanks for all the input guys and for the ones that say they are played out....... I'm going with the ZO6 pictured above. 17x9 up front and possibly 17x11 in the back?
