Default Best looking wheels on TA's!!!

Hey im need of some new wheels, looking for some input.
I have a white 98 WS6 and want to keep the wheels chrome, just looking into some budget wheels, probably from OE LLC!!

I have a few choices lined up I think i am looking no bigger than a 18" in the rear and I want 10.5 or 11's in the rear...

-C6's
-C5's
-C5 Z06's
-ZR1's (old style)

Any pictures of these on trans ams would be great thanks !

Here's my '98 with black/polished lip C6 ZO6s. 17x9.5 all around. Probably going to upgrade to 18x10.5s in the rear soon.

I voted C6 wheels, but IMO 18s front and rear would look a lot better.

well between those choices the C6 Z06 rims look sick, try getting the rims with the lip that they make now. If you had some cash to spend ive always loved how CCWs look on TAs, hell actually any Fbody they look sick on.

Thanks guys! lol I think I am going to spend my money on some dirt cheap tire wheel combo 16s or 17s whatever cuz I need my car rolling cuz the front end is damaged, and wheels are bent and all, then save my money for some Fikse fm5's or ccw's omg they look amaaaaazing on a trans am, but that is what u should get when u spend bookoo bucks on wheels.

Or how about something you dont look at and go "Blah" and somethin that isn't PLAYED OUT! I ****** hate my C5 Z06 wheels cuz everyone got them after a while... nothin like seein every other dude with a Fbody with the same rims as you... CCWs and Fikses are dope... BUT... there are still quite a few guys with them... not taking anything away from those wheels cuz they still aren't played out, but still too many people have them for me to justify spending $4K+ on rims... my .02 cents on rims for fbodies
