Default Deep Dish C5's, machined face. photoshop... or keep my current Z06s?

I'm highly inclined to sell my Z06 wheels in order to buy the deep dish C5 machined face wheels whenever they come out with an 18x9.5" up front so I can run 18's all the way around. My ultimate goal was just to find a 10.5" or 11" wheel I can throw a 315 on. I plan on some 315 Nitto NT05's which will go on a 10.5" wheel. I found these wheels and fell in love... I was wondering what you guys thought of my quick photoshop I did from another car..

Current wheels:

Def go with the C5 DD's. I don't like zo6's to start with. But the C5's look much classier on your car.

I think the C5 Z06's only look good on Camaros, not on Trans Ams. C5's all the way.

Go with the deep dish C5's. I'm like you, the first time I saw them, I fell in love and made it my mission to get a set. lol. I love them and couldn't really think of another wheel, aside from some iForged Aeros, that I'd rather have more.

I actually used your car for the wheels in the photoshop. Those wheels look fantastic on your car!

I think they look best on TA's.. I would keep them.. The polish makes your car paint pop.. That machined face stuff just makes the faces look dirty or hazed IMHO..
