I like the Strutter as well, in a three piece for that car. Not the same old boring three piece everyone else runs. Our three piece is every bit as good, if not better as some of the for mentioned, and we're a fresh look.

No, not all of your wheels look retro. Sorry I wasn't more clear on that. The ones shown above labeled Concept II and Super Spoke look retro-ish to me, the Super Spoke looking more rodder-like in my opinion. I dig both wheels, just not on a Z06. The Strutter could look good, I'd like to see it with a hoop in place and with a brushed center. That one could pull the look off. The Rated X wheel is a nice looking wheel, but not what I'd stick on a Z06. Also, I'm sure these wheels will look even better with the flat centercaps.

And new caps are now .50" shorter than what you have seen on our Rushforth wheels. Looking much better now. I think the Strutter is going to be the hot ticket on cars such as these, as well as pro-t cars, and will even lend itself to other high end euro cars as well.

New cap:

I'm really down to the Strutter or the Concept III. C6Z wheels are fine, but they're another overplayed wheel on the C5's. I like to roll a bit different from the crowd. That, and I just don't really like them on a C5. Thankfully, taste and style is subjective.

I gotta go with Nineball. I've yet to see a c5 or c6 that looked better than stock with anything other than a straight forward no frill design.

I dig the Rushforth wheels but not on a new vette. It's like your trying too hard.

I don't know, this design is all business and design for me... I am really liking the diversity of this wheel:
This in our three piece would be awesome on a vette. All opinion though...
