I like the C6, the spoke desing is close to the IROC wheels, but much more modern.

i think it depends on the suspension setup personally, but from what ive seen, all of them look SICK on different cars.

I'd take the C6's personally.

My vote is also for the Z-06 (on the yellow Vette) wheels. But if I had to
choose on the 3 you have, I'd go with the C6's in chrome.

I agree with the person who said that the C6 wheels are similar in shape to the old third gen five spoke design:



The shape is similar but with a modern / high end look.



Considering that at this time the C6 wheels have gotten twice as many votes as the Y2K wheels, I might have to go with the C6

Honestly, I do not like any of them. I would rather get the ZR1 instead. Anyway, I voted for C6 because it looks better that the other two wheels.

C-6 wheels are sexy for sure, but they are pretty expensive if you get the OEM wheels. C-5 wheels are nice too, but I have never been a fan of the Z06 wheels

It all depends on the look of the car. Different wheels look bettter with different set-ups. Ride height, color, impact strip or shaved, all make a difference in the look of the wheels.
