The five spoke wheel used on the C6 is a simple and classic design. It is perfect for the look of the car and looks good regardless of whether it's a soft silver color ("painted"), polished, or chrome.

Here's the best advice you're going to get. Use your eye, not the opinions of others, to decide what you think you want on your own car.

, Follow the good advice and go with your gut, after all the options/mods you do are for you personalizing your own car.

I have the polished wheels on my MSM.
I think it looks great. It looks more like the car is one piece to me. The chrome may be a little too bright but you may like it.
