I personally do not like staggered diameter fitments on Camaros. . . So I would choose either all 17's or all 18's. As for widths, being slammed on Sportlines is really going to impact the max width in back. Depending on the body mods you are willing to do, 11" is most likely the max you'd be able to fit, plus to maximise the look, you need to shell out tall cash on some custom made wheels such as I-Forged, HRE, FIKSE, CCW and the like . . .
Torque Thrusts are not availalbe in chrome, and they only have one fitment in a 17" that fits, 17 x 9.5 witha 46 mm offset and a 17 x 11 with the same offset. They do sell 18 x 10's that fit too. As for the dark centers you'd have to have those custom coated or painted. . . .
BTW dark centered wheels look great on silver cars.

I am looking at the ccw 505a or the ifroged areos. In the ccw i want the 19x9.5 in front and 19x11 out back. if i get the ifroged i would get the 18x9.5 in front and the 18x11 in the back. the reason for the smaller size in iforged is the cost of the wheel and the tires are cheaper. the ccw are $3950 mounted and balanced shipped to my door with pirrellis i believe. hope this helps i am in a saving pattern. wish i had my money ready.
