c6 wheels: rivets or no rivets?
I'm looking at these on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17X9-...QQcmdZViewItem
Originally I was going to get the type w/o rivets because it was cheaper, but this aint a bad price. I wish i had some pix of T/A's with riveted C6 wheels. How do you guys think it would look? Which style looks better?

On C5 wheels, I hate rivets with a passion. But on those C6's, they actually don't look bad. They add some interesting detail to an otherwise simple wheel.
I think either way they'd look good on your car though.
Did you ever end up selling the Cobra's?

i like the rivet look, it gives the rims more beef.

No rivets. It's be a real PITA to keep clean them. I'm getting sick of cleaning the 10 spokes on my wheels without rivets. Next time will be 5 spokes at the most.

Rivets look decent... But I would say no rivets, I have the C6 chrome without rivets and they look awesome and clean, one of the best looking rims I think on an F body.

rivets look great but not worth the pain of cleaning
