go with 18" C5 Z06 rims in chrome!! those rims just look great on a pewter car. theres a reason why those rims are played out. go look up "mad ice" car. hes got a pewter SS with 18" C5 Z06 rims.

I like 1 or 5.

1 if you plan on adding other black accents, like a berger panel, hood manta, or stripes.

And as much as I hate C5 Z's, they actually DO look okay on that pewter car. They have to be chrome 18's though, and NO rivets.

I see 1 & 5 are the same wheels, but with different colors. That's my vote, you just gotta decide on the color.

EDIT: Get them in 18's all around and either color is good by the way.
