Default Trans Am's with zo6 Rims, got pics?

I've been pondering zo6 rims for my car. More than likely Chrome. What combinations do you have, 17's front and rear? 17 front 18 rear? Perhaps 18's up front and back.

I could use the 295 tire width for traction, but I assume thats on the large and heavy side for the front of the car.

Any Pics would be great, especially black cars!

You might want to check out the February Photoshop Requests thread in the multimedia forum, I've done two Z06-wheels ones in the past few days. Of course, there's also plenty of photos around on here of 'the real thing'

I did 17x9.5 on the front and 18 x 10.5 on the back , the only bad thing is when i got them i knew nothing of tires so i had 245's in the front and 275's in the back, this pic is what the back was suppose to look like.

Nice!

btw, how is the offset between front and rear, do the rears stick out more? If so do any of the repo wheels have an offset to correct for that?

I have a 2002 NBM with 18 X 9.5 all around on 275/35ZR18 tires. As you can see I will be needing to get it lowered soon.
