The corvette look good, but I like better the stock chrome SS wheels in your pics. But your car looks awsome with either set.

You car looks good even with the ZR1s. The C6Z wheels do look even better though but you can't go wrong either way.

Now if you want you can take the new wheels/rims off for the winter and throw some 'old' ones on!
