Default Not sure which direction to go, suggestions needed

so I just picked up a super clean LT1 Formula. It currently has blacked out C5 thinspokes with Nittos on the rear. Doesn't look bad, but doesn't look real great either. I am torn between going with a drag setup (car has heads/cam/bolt ons/nitrous) or a nice 17 or 18" staggered combo. the fitment on these wheels isn't bad, but the designs is a little plain for me,a nd I prefer something with a lip. What is really making it hard for me is the fact that the car is silver, so not sure whether to go with a black wheel, chrome/polished/ or black/polished lip. Here are pics for reference, anyone have some suggestions? Reasonably priced suggestions at that.

I think staggered C6 Z06 black with polished lip would look great on your car.

I was looking at those. But I am leaning more towards the gunmetal/polished lip deep dish c5's in 18". Or the Gunmetal c6 ZR1's look mean too. I found a picture of the gunmetal deep dishes on a silver car an it looked ****, so I may go that route. And it helps that they are on sale now too

I was gonna go with the gunmetal C6ZR1s but they don't make them in 18X10.5 which is what I need to run 295/35 on all 4 corners. I in between C5 deep dish gunmetal without rivets or C5 Z06 gunmetal without rivets.
