Honestly...I think the Chrome Y2K's look really nice. Gives a clean look. The add to the overall appearance, and definitely make the car look a lot nicer.

The rest of the rims take away from the rest of the car. When you look at them, the rims are all that you notice. It is like trying not to stare into an eclipse.....you know what I mean. I think that they draw too much attention away from the car.

Just my spare change .02

I voted for Boyds. The Boyds and C5's both look good. But I think the Boyds would look better.

Here's what I think about those choices...even though you might not care or agree, here's my 2 cents if it helps: I think if you're gonna go custom, make it look different than the factory wheels. I don't really think the first 2 offer that much of a change from factory. Next, the chrome Z06's aren't bad. I don't like them as much as some others, but that's why you own your ride and I don't make YOUR decisions. The TT2's: Ehhhhh they're pretty cool, but it seems like I can't get accross the street withouht seeing them on something. Lastly, I think those Smoothies are awesome. I'd put them on mine if I felt like shelling out some coin.

But, that's just my opinion. Good luck in choosing a set you'll be happy with.
