Help~Which wheels you like better?

I'm thinking of switching to the Boze wheels just like this one.

Which do you like better what I have now? Keep what I have? (bottom pic)


Or sell my Z06's and put this look to my car...top picture?

Z06 wheels all the way.

The Boze look like allllllllll the others. Just another cookie cutter wheel to add to the list.

Thanks you guys some very interesting points!

Here is where I'm coming from:
I love my Z06 Wheels...However, I think the manager at Discount Tire has talked me out of them because of the adapters. He said he has been in the tire business over 14 years and he has seen these adapters crack and break off causing serious death or injury. He said there NOT a safe application anc Discount Tire's policy excludes them to work to touch on my car which make it a pain in the *** when I have to take the wheels there for a re balance. I checked the torque when I had the wheels off and they wouldn't budge.

Thanks for the appearance opinions!

i would say the boze, only if you get {18'' front/ 20'' rear} like in the pic... also get the right back-spaceing, so they tuck up nice like in the pic. the ZO6 wheels are awesome, but they look like they stick out just a little to much for my tast... but i have stock wheels so i don't have much room to talk, so just my

The Boze in the picture are actually 19'' Front and 20" Rear. I know this because I took that picture! They looked simply amazing in person, get them. The Z06s are starting to get played out, IMO.

Ditch the Z06s, despite being 18s and 5 spoke variation, I dont think they look that good without a deeper lip.
