I have the chrome spyders and they look great. Do a bing or google for JSB corvette and you will see various wheels.

All three are attractive but I'm going with chrome ZR1 wheels which will be placed on my Lemans Blue vert on Saturday morning.

The more open the wheel pattern, the more you will need to keep your calipers and the back of the wheels clean IMHO.

True, but the ZR1 wheel will be much harder to clean than the spiders.

I did not vote because you left out Black Spiders.
I love mine.

Can we get a post of each wheel? I thought spyder and cups were the same thing?
Either way, you can't go wrong with any. I just really want ZR1 wheels, but I'm questioning the looks in the GS 18/19 fitment, vs. actual 19/20.

I don't know if you are looking at OEM (Speedline) or repros, but if going OEM keep in mind that the Cup and ZR1 are 19/20 while the Spyders are 18/19. The roads around me are horrible, so I am sticking with the Spyders - these give me a little over a centimeter of extra tire height as a cushion for the protection of the wheels, and for keeping my crowns from rattling loose on my daily drive.

Chrome spyders. I would have a set in a heartbeat but for my coupe but I would have to go aftermarket and don't want the weight.
