Best looking wheels from the factory still have to be the stock C5 polished wheel. Maybe a inch or two bigger in todays wheels.
I still think the C6 does not have a wheel as nice as those.

I'll be biased (and outspoken no doubt!) - but I like the early C4 wheels, they look like a polished disk with the 'turbine' spokes, I think their shiny machined finish with the early C4 shape are a very good match, even down to the high low profiles (if you see what I mean!)

Or did you mean, the wheels that would look good on any year of Corvette??

The stock split-spoke polished wheel on the C6 Z06 is the winner for me. They're now much better made and suit the car to a tee.

I like the '09 "spider" rims on the Z06. Competition grey, mmmm....

The new wheel that LG Motorsports are making is my favourite as it looks close to the C6R rim.

Torque Thrust 'D's on C1,2 and 3's do it for me.

They are just far too small.

Like these early wheels on the C3, simple and effective, giving the shape a chunky look

always had a soft spot for the late C3 optional alloys, really suit the car, bit like a more subtle grown up Slot-mag.
