Default WHEELS- Need Opinions/Pics/Suggestions

So my wife picked me up a 2nd owner bone stock 95 Z28 6speed while ive been deployed to afghanistan. Being the Fbody lover I am there is no way I can wait until i get home to buy stuff for it. Its a black/black leather ttop car with stock salad shooters. Ive already decided on lowering it and am almost 100% set on getting the sportlines. But im stuck on wheels, I cant decide what to go with and am looking for suggestions. Ive been all over the OE site and am really leaning toward the C6 5spoke's (black w/ polished lip) or the older Z06 ten spokes(black/polihed or chrome). Ive also seen tsw snetterton's that look nice but are a touch on the rice side. And last I like the '09 ZR1 replicas that 6litereater sells. Still really undecided as of now but still have 5 months in the dirt to make up my mind. Anyone have any suggestions, opinions, fact, pro/cons, pictures or anything to offer to sway my vote...?

Don't go sportline! If you have to go with EiBach, go Prokit. It's 1.3" Sprotline is at least 2". Too low to run anything good looking. I have prokit and have rubbed my 17-18 c-6's.

Nothing wrong with sportlines, tons of guys have em. To the guy rubbing with 17's/18's... seems like theres something more wrong with your car.

I run sportlines with Ruff Racing 278's in a 19". +35mm front, +55mm rear offsets without rubbing.

I loved the way the car handled on sportlines, but it was very low.
They were on the car when I bought it.
Once I put the LTs on, there was just no way I stay lowered.
