Default Need Help Choosing Rims

I have a 2000 Trans am WS6. I am having a hard time picking out a new set of wheels for my car. I figured the guys and gals in the Appearance section of the site could help me out. What do you all think would look the best on my car for wheels? I am open to all suggestions.

I plan to run them on my wife's Firehawk. I think they look great, especially for the low cost.

Or, if cost is not an issue, the yearone snowflakes:

You have to go to the wheels section and find them at the bottom of the page.
These are the best looking rims for a 4th gen bird in my opinion. Just hella expensive.

I like the looks of these. I wonder if they would look good in a gloss black. They kinda remind me of the ZR1 style wheel.

CCWs would look good on a damn golf cart. lol they look good on anything. i think if you drop the car a little bit first then run a nice 17/18 with atleast 295s in the back would look really good. and me personally a white car with 5% tint HIDs up front and black rims would look amazing. a buddy of mine has a artic white STi with 5% HIDs smoked tails (very lightly smoked almost like gray) and black powdercoated stock STi BBS. and that car looks fugging sexy

Be different and get some CCW, Fikse, or I-Forged. They're $$$$ but well worth it.

^those are about as "different" as corvette rims at this point. dont necessarily look for different, get what you like. unless its just the area where i live, i doubt you see a rediculous amount of fbodys with corvette rims anywhere but on these sites dedicated to fbodys. go check out OEwheels selection. they have a lot of nice sets.

You're funny. How many people have you seen with those wheels? I think I've seen 3 or 4 with Fikses out of everybody on here. I can't even count how many people have zr1s zo6s or y2k wheels. They look decent and are CHEAP so most people won't dump $3k into wheels.

^thats what im saying, "out of everybody ON HERE" -how often during your daily drives do you see the people on "HERE"? all i'm saying is that in my area, in general, i dont see to many other nice looking camaro's or trans ams, with the exception of a few good ones. so mine stands out either way. its not like the general person is going to be like "eh, he has corvette wheels just like vereyone else". thats not the case anywhere but on these sites.

What crimson bird said up top is very true. Here everyone judges our cars, many appearance enhancements done are not "approved". We rarely see cool cars such as ours out there in the real world.....daily drivers. When I had my LT1 trans am I went with C6 Chrome wheels, loved the look and I was sporting them around, everywhere I got good comments about car. I sold the car and kept the wheels, same wheels now on my LS1 trans am.

Okay, this is a dumb argument, he just wanted some ideas, almost anything is better than stock unless you have a special/limited edition car with specific wheels. Here's the pics of my white TA wth Black 9.5 X 17 inch Corvette ZR1 rims. These were 425.00 for the set on oewheelsllc.com and I wrapped them with kumho ecsta asx's size 275/40/17.
Just did the CETA mod too. Sorry if the pictures are a little blurry, it was getting dark.
