Old Wheels Vs. New Wheels

So I got tired of 18" wheels and decided to get a set of 10 spoke SS wheels and paint them 35th style, and now many people are telling me that they liked the C6 wheels better. Honestly, I'm happier with the present wheels (and tires!), but we all know how it sucks when we mod something and others don't like it...

So, how do the masses feel?

Old: 18" Painted C6 Wheels

New: 17" 35th style painted SS 10-spokes

BTW, for what it's worth: The car will be dropped approx. 1.4" on Thursday, went with Suspension Techniques springs, Konis in front, AGX in back.

Don't really like the SS 10 spoke wheels but they do fit with your car.

I appreciate it guys, this makes me feel much better.

The tires on the C6s were 295/45/18 Toyos... a 28.5" tire. Why you may ask? Because I really, really hated low profile tires... I'm much happier with my 275/40/17 et streets, lol.
