Had some time, tried several sets of wheels
Like the title says, I had some time today so I swapped wheels a few times to see what they look like on the same car. (some were older pictures too) C5 wheels and a couple C4's too.
Magnesium
Polished Thinspokes
Z06
Wagon Wheels
'90 wheels
C4 ZR1 (Camaro SS)
I tried some '94 sawblades too, but they didn't quite clear the front brakes.

The 90 wheels look the best. They are my all time favorite vette wheels. Hmm, wonder how they would look on my FRC. Put them on your FRC so I can see.
My next favorite are the Z06 wheels.
Then the magnesium
Thin spokes Not my taste
The wagons are "OK" with the Wagon wheel makeover kit like I have.

Polished thin spokes and the C4 saw blades are not bad.

Those '90 wheels do look good on the car - too bad they didn't come in 18" rears. I do like the magnesium wheels too.

I saw a photoshop of the '94 sawblades on a C5 and I liked that too, but they don't fit without doing some grinding (that I don't want to do).
I also like the polished thin spokes and the Z06 wheels.
I think the magnesium look good on this color, but they are too close to the pewter color. I have them on my pewter FRC now. I also worry about damage to them since the paint is so easy to chiip.
The C4 ZR1 style is just a cheap set that I will refinish, but they might be some good "winter" wheels. (Maybe on my S10).
The wagons came with my FRC, but I am not a fan of them.
I expect I will be selling the magnesiums and the wagons.
I enjoyed just seeing what it looks like with the different wheels and the different "character" that it gives the same car.
Thanks for all the comments.
