Default Need some opinons guys

I want to buy some new wheels for my car because i want to go up to the 17's. My car is a 1999 Pewter Trans-Am. Apperance is stock for now but i plan to add a WS6 hood in the near future.
My two choices for wheels so far are either the New style WS6 wheels or the Blue 30th Aniv wheels.
Im kina leaning to the #0th Aniv wheels just because i have not seen a car other than a 30th that has them on it. I bolted a pair up and i didnt think it looked to bad, but i wanted the opinions of the masses.
Thanks for the help.
Josh

I photoshop'd the 30th blue wheels on my silver T/A and I think they look sweet, but not on a pewter car IMO. Plus they are very expensive and quality of the blue isn't great either. What price range are you looking at?

Well i can get a set of 4 30th wheels for $750 that are used and have some small scratches or i can get the 02 WS6 wheels new for $800 for the set.
Could someone Photoshop the blue wheels on my T/A for me??
And about how much i want to spend i really dont want to spend a whole lot since i will have to get new tires also, I just want to make my car look unique and not just be another T/A out there. I really like the Y2K vette wheels or the ZO6 wheels but i just cant afford them.
Thanks

Only bad thing is the Chrome Y2K thin spokes are expensive as hell. Along with the 18" tires to go with them.
Right now i have the Chrome 16"s and i just want to make the car look better. This winter she is getting droped about 1.5" so i want a nice wheel to compliment this.
Thanks

Honestly the TT2's are nice but i just dont like them. Im not saying that they are totally awfull they just arent for me. It hink right now im kinda leaning to the 30th aniv. wheels, Just for the fact i will be one of the few(if not only) to have them on a car that isnt a 30th Aniv. Also if i decide to get tehm i might make my car into a "Pewter 30th Aniv." with the stripes and all. Hell my car is a 99 so it really is a 30th aniv. it just isnt the actual Aniv edition.

I have all 17" chrom Y2K Vette wheels, pics here >> http://jsears8.cz28.com/prokit

You can pick them up quite often on e-bay or in the classifieds. Send me a pic of your car and I'll see if I can photoshop the blue wheels on. I think the greyish Z06 wheels would look AWESOME on a pewter car!
