If you go with C5Z06 get 18s. They look WAY better than 17s

Of the two, that would be my choice. ^
even if you go 17's all around I think the C5 has more design, brought out by the changes in depth of the spokes. The C6 looks too open, almost frail?..
Kinda depends somewhat on the look that your going for.

musclecar = TTII
autocross = ZR1
sleeper = widened WS6
These compliment the sizing you are looking for if doing 17' all around.

Here's some more to throw a wrench in the works...
