Question Opinions on Rims

Ok I'm looking for 17x9.5 in the front and 17x11 in the rear. Which rim would you guys think would look the best on a NBM camaro? Rims don't have to be chrome either. Deep dish rims with polished lips would be nice also.

Would rather have rims that don't look too pimpish but more on the side of aggressiveness. Rim pics or sites on where to see them would be greatly appreciated. Only street rims, no drag rims. So what are your opinions? Post away.

Chrome would look best IMO... You cant really have someone else decide on the wheels you want, look around and find a set you like... dont buy a set someone else likes!!

Well wasn't gonna get a set someone else liked. Just wanted to know what rim would go best with that color car. I wanna stay away from chrome because of the weight and horror stories about it flaking off.

*drools over the FM-5s*

BTW, my opinion is that they're wheels, not rims.

i think that 18x9.5 and 18x11 black motorsport z06's with red calipers would look real mean. on the customers rides on the mti website there is a vette that looks tough, same rims and close to the same color blue.
