Default help me decide :(

so my tires are bad and one is gone already i figured i change wheels along with new tries. i have a thing for C5 DD but i live in middle east so it costs 3X the price to ship i just dont want to spend a lot of money on this! i checked local shops and they literally suck...the only reasonable wheels are:

weird *** wheels but with decent lips

C6 ZO6s

Do i need spacers with these?

AND the

BMW 7 series wheels. i always liked them and they are fairly cheap

same wheels on a camaro here from the tech "sorry owner but i had to post it"


PS. i can get C6 oem wheels but am really not a fan of corvette wheels on camaro plus i dont like 19s on camaros ...so what do you guys think?? 1 2 or 3. also what tires should i get?

I would say go with the first. Why don't you like vette wheels on maros? Sides they belong on them more than a BMW wheel
