Your favorite Wheels?

Whats your favorite factory GM wheel that you like to see especially on 4th gens?

Personally I like the Gun-Metal Z06's or the Black with Silver Lip Z06's.

2. Silver 5-spoke SS wheels (17s)
3. Z06 gunmetal wheels (17s)

Ronal made the wheels, discontinued them a few months ago, and are now in the middle of bringing them back with an option to get them in 17" sizes rather than just 16s.

original hawk wheels were only available in a "satin" finish. teh after market and the newer manufacture replacements do offer a polished style.
