LOL, I voted **** taste, KIA on 22"s. I had to man, it was asking for me to click it!
Seriously though, the C6s aren't going to fit. TTIIs have been played out for awhile now. If I were in your shoes, I'd want to do something away from the norm.
If that's your actual '67, it's unique IMO, and you should keep it that way.
Out of all the wheels you posted, I guess I like the Colorado Customs. I'm not really sure what your goal is though. 2 of the wheels you posted, are straight up G Machine. The other two, are more of a classic look. Which way are you going with the car?
Also, aren't those Colorado Custom wheels priced waaay over the other 3 wheels?
Sorry to add more fuel to the fire man, I'm just being honest.

Yeah, i linked the wrong }img{ thingy. There's really not much stock at all in the car, the 327's collecting dust, as is most of the trim and the front bumper. I like the G-machine type look, stock sucks, and TTII's are way overplayed, ALTHOUGH they look great. Yes, the colorado's are effing expensive, i'll find something that looks just like it instead. The basic idea is the style.

American Racing Rebels look pretty nice. Kind of goes well with your ride but personally I think the spokes are a little thick and would prefer something like the C6's style.

Torque Thrust IIs. The later model GM vette wheels do not look good on a first gen. I am about to put a set of tt2s on my 1999 SS and when I have the drivetrain like I want it in my 67, it will get a set of TT2s on it as well. Its a good looking rim on any Camaro, and its hard to beat for the money.

Nah, ive decided to shy away from the TT2's... There's just too many people have them. Now that they're offered in big sizes, everybody and their brother around here has them. Im really leaning toward the black rebels, does anyone know how to make them fit? There's nothing wrong with spacers, is there?

I will never understand why people choose to skimp on wheels. You obviously have a highly customized (and expensive) machine on your hands...Shouldn't your wheels reflect that? Also, the wheels should keep the theme of the car going. You want something modern with classic styling cues.
IMO, the vette wheels and TTIIs are out of the equation. Colorado Custom wheels are neat (are they still huge in the sport truck world?) and you should take a look at Boyd's new line of forged wheels. I think the site is www.bcforged.com I think the Boyd's are fairly priced and most of the designs would look killer on a first-gen.

I'm "skimping" on wheels because i dont have much money, and id rather have a really fast car that looks good, than a fast car that looks great. I can't afford top of the line wheels, $800-1000 is all I can afford. The car is costing so much to convert and restore, that I dont have the money for the best.
I'm definately set on the five-spoke look (for the classic cues,) but with the car being lowered with more of a G-machine look, i'm thinking that deep-dish wheels would not look good at all. I'm gonna go with American racing rebels, chrome or not, i haven't decided. Everything in the car is either orange, black, or chrome. I'd have to photoshop in my brakes to see if the black over silver with a polished lip will look good. I'll post what i come up with..

to get the vette wheels to fit you would need to get you front a-arms in a wider set-up from fatmans fadrication, or heidt's suspesion, and fitting a rear end from a late modal f-body, or buy a custom one from moser,strange or currie. Or just run the spacers and have the wheels cut down a little on the back side to decrease the back spacing. Budnik also has some nice wheels in offsets to fit you car.
