Default What Wheels? Help me decide!

I can't decide what to get. Car is red Trans Am. It's current wheels are 17" old style zr1's painted black. I have no idea what to get. Torque Thrusts? DD c5's? C5 Z06's? All black, chrome, gunmetal, or black with lip? I don't want to ditch the coin for ccw's, fikse, ect. Also, before you start saying lower it, I've got springs for it.

I'm pretty much between C5 DD Thin Spokes in Chrome or Torque Thrust 2's in polish. Maybe DD's in Black with a polished lip.
Pics of the car for reference:

I agree best bang for the buck is the c5dd,i think they look the best with 18x10.5 on all 4 corners,nicest wheels for the money,you can pick up a killer set of forged wheels and tires for around 2500 range,just throwing that out there,price it all out and make the decision for yourself,also you are pretty much going to have to roll fenders,n bhm,also i suggest running a spacer on the rear wheels to push them out a bit,from what i have seen they look better that way,nice car,i would stick with chrome/polished,but there was a red ta with c5dd matte black with chrome rivits n polished lips and it looked real good,good luck in your hunt man

This is kind of hard to decide. There are plenty of red cars with black wheels.
