Default So im about to buy some....
Chrome C6 18x9.5 all around. I just need to know if I should get the motorsports with rivets or not. Price is not an issue, just wondering about looks.

They will be going on a black WS6. Who thinks the rivets are too "blingy"?

Anyone please post up your pics of regular C6's, or C6 motorsports.

I have the black motorsport wheels on my vette with the rivets and it looks great. I have seen the chrome ones and I like the rivets.

Yeah the rivets are cool but they are a pain in the butt when it's time to clean them.

I agree, but on real 3 peice rims I don't mind them because they are needed.
