Question Hardest Decision Ever C6 rims

I have a black 2002 trans am ws6 m6.
check sig for pic and profile for more.

I'm sick of the rims on it. They're 16's, have bald tires, and just take the mean look away from the car. I'm stuck between which C6s I want to put on it. I've been told by SLP to put 18x9.5 on all corners, read in threads to put 18x10.5 in the back and 18x9 or 18x9.5 in the front. I'm just looking for some direct input from guys that actually have them. I'm mainly looking 3 styles and can't figure out which one i like best and I want them at a good price so can you help me out guys?

IMO i have always liked the c5 zo6 wheels. I currently am running the ZR1 wheels on my z28 in the 17x9.5 in the front and 17x11 in the rear. I like to at least have a 10.5 width in the rear. LOL Just my 2cents

Thanks for the .02. I'd rather have some input than none. You have pics of your ZR1s? Running stock springs or?

they're not on my car yet, but when I decide on tires I will get everything mounted up and post pictures for everyone.

I've come down to two choices for tires
BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW2s-$870 UTQG 300 speed rating y 186
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 sport-$790 UTQG 340 speed rating w 168

I cant spend the $1500 for the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s UTQG 220 speed rating y 186

prices from Tirerack.com

I would just search. Ive been looking for rims for my silver 02 ws6. If you want daily driver rims OEwheels is a good choice. There are some black and chrome deep dish rims. c5. 18x9 and 18x10.5. z06 and zr1 are also pretty good looking if you dont want to spend 3k on rims. oe wheels has a thread started in this section. Try and picture hunt on google.
Just depends what you are looking for. do you want to rotate them? you can go for all the same size.
