Default question about wheel offset

i know that you want the offset of rims to be around 56 or lower but i just came across Z06 rims for a good price and one set is 53mm offset and the other is 56mm offset and they are both 18x9.5 so which would look better? post pics also if you have them, thanks

you do realize that is less then 1/8 of an inch difference...you'll never see the difference.
