Default Which Wheels for my Trans??

Just as the title says, which do you guys prefer for the Trans in my sig?? I am planning on ordering one set of the other today or tomorrow.

Both sets are staggered (which I know isnt for everyone)
Front 17 X 8.5
Rear 18 X 10.5

Right now the suspension is stock, but I plan to lower the car slightly in the Spring.

I appreciate the help.

I like the C5DD's just cause I don't like the rivets and the C6Z06's

Personally, I like black wheels on green cars, but if its between the two, the gun metal z06 wheels, simply because they aren't as common

not a fan of rivets either, and the C5DD are a little bland for a trans am in my opinion. If I can throw my 2 cents in, I would say run a 9.5 up front... otherwise the C5DD would get my vote

Matte grey finish pending on yyour color,and imo the 18x10.5 really makes the c5dd look more like a high dollar wheel in pics,i like rivits but they gotta be real, the matte finish with rivets looks nice though

I think you can go wrong imo the c6 rims look cheap,i know thats more my opinion but for a budget wheel the c5 kinda has a touch of the same look as a set of high dollar wheels,no im not comparing a oe wheel to ccws or i forged but they do have a similiar look in pics,
