Default Help me narrow my decision!

I need help picking a set of wheels out for the car.
Silver Z28 and stock suspension. The only appearance mods are blacked out headlights/taillights and a billet grille.
Right now i'm between black TTM's or the OE C5 deep dish's. I guess i'm looking for a "5-spoke" wheel and i am open to other ideas or help me pick between the two.
Thanks.

Thanks.
Here is a picture of the car if it helps. I just can't decide if the black on the wheels will be too much or not.
Any suggestions anyone?

I'd go 10 spoke SS's and lose the blacked out lights and then paint the t-bar that goes over the roof silver. I'd also run some spacers to get the wheels out of the wells or get a rim w/ a back spacing between 38mm-44mm on 95 wide rim. TT and c5's are all over the place

+1 on losing the blacked out taillights , but other than that some black wheels would look hot on your car .. and def. get the wheels out of the fenderwells .. stock offsets are horrible .

The only down side to having the rims flush with the fenders and quarter's is you have to choose you tire well. The added width will follow ruts in the road more, if you have nice smooth roads by you then its no issue. But a poor tread pattern and the extra width plus ruts equal a ghost driver you have to fight
