c6 wheels: rivets or no rivets?

**GottaHaveLS1** · 04-18-2008, 11:59 AM

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?

i think rivets are classing.

Haha, that's what I said to myself before I saw your post.

I usually don't like the look of rivets, but they look pretty good on those c6's. The only thing I thought of was having to clean the brake dust around each rivet. Could be a PITA.

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 agree. Most wheels I see rivets on they look like crap. But on those its kind of ok. I'd get more into detail about how I feel but the one nazi mod here doesnt seem to like it when I use my freedom of speech

Yea, that could be hard to clean. ur right about that. i don't need any wheels for a couple weeks but i'll have to make a decision soon.

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

i dont even know!! i dont remember posting that ..but i like the rivets..with motorsports rims they look really good.

**99formulals1** · 04-18-2008, 04:17 PM

no rivets, cleaner looks better and those are gona be a bitch to keep clean

**Eugenio_SS** · 04-19-2008, 08:58 PM

i personally prefer without rivets...

**Hot Black Trans-Am** · 04-19-2008, 11:17 PM

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.

**GottaHaveLS1** · 04-20-2008, 06:52 AM

yea, i don't need to make my car more difficult to clean. black is hard enough to keep clean all the time. i wont be getting the motorsport style for sure

**The Guz** · 04-21-2008, 09:59 AM

Those will look ok with the rivets.

**TheSilverSurfer** · 04-29-2008, 03:09 AM

I vote for no rivets

**INMY01TA** · 05-05-2008, 03:30 PM

Not a fan of rivets.

**WS6ICK2K** · 05-05-2008, 06:58 PM

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.
