Default Can't decide on wheels-Need opinions!!

recently purchased a 2000 white ss. It has the factory silver 10 spokes on it and i want to change them. Problem is to many choices and options. Im kind of torn between these sets of wheels!

1. OE wheels chrome zr1 17x9 and 17x11

2. OE wheels chrome deep dish c5 17x9 all around

3. American racing TTM anthracite 17x9 and 17x10.5

I really like the deep dish wider back wheels and i really wish they offered a 17 inch deep dish c5 that was wider than 9 for the rear. I want to stay with 17's just because i like the size and dont want bigger. Also not a fan of staggered sizes. Not really even sure if chrome would look good against white like the anthracite. Thanks for your input!!

The c5dd look bad in all 17s,they need the 18s that makes them look a ton better,out of those i would go zr1s,i have a white ss and if i got any oe wheels it would be 4 18x10.5 on all corners in chrome with the fake rivits,imo adds to the wheel,good luck man

Since a white SS is my favorite looking color.. i would only run 18" C5 Z06 rims, or TT2 hands down on a white SS..

But out of those options, i would go with number 2.

I feel like white cars need BALLER wheels for some reason. Save your pennies and get some HREs, Fikse's, CCW's, or if you look hard you can grab some Simmons for a good deal.

Thats what I would say also but maybe he just wants some wheels from the options listed. CCWs would look real beast on his white car.

you are right about the HREs, Fikse's, CCW's. But i dont want to have to refinance my house to put wheels on the car. Dont get me wrong i would love to have some but i just cant bring myself to drop that kind of coin on wheels. Not when have so many other things i want to do as well.

Just looking to get rid of the plain jane factory wheels and upgrade to something that looks better without breaking the bank.

I really like the AR TTM's in anthracite but im having a hard time getting past the mustang wheel part of it.

Also i know that i've read that the 10.5" TTM's will fit in the rear without having to hammer but not to sure if the 11" zr1 will

keep in mind that next mod after wheels will be to lower and start on suspension side of things

The TTM look like Bullitt wheels from mustang. The TTII's look much better IMO.

But out of the choices you listed, I'd do the c5DD but in 18's and chrome.

If i had the money, i would get these: http://www.ccwheel.com/wheelprofiles...ay.php?id=505a They are my absolute favorite wheels.
These being a close 2nd http://www.ccwheel.com/wheelprofiles...y.php?id=SP550
But since i do not have $2700 to spend, im going with these: http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...Wheels-Black_5 i think they will look sharp on my silver camaro. and they are cheap
