Default 01 Black Trans Am...help with rims please!!

As the title states i have a black 01 trans am...I'm getting ready to get a set of rims to eliminate having multiple sets. I want some 9.5's up front and 10.5 or 11's out back. that way i'll just put on a big *** drag radial. my problem is i cant decide what to get. i'm on a pretty tight budget but i want it to look good. so i just wanted to get some input from you guys

i always said i wouldn't put covette rims on my f body cause it seems everyone does but i can't seem to find sizes like the corvette rims anywhere without pay mega $$$. As long as i get some center caps w/o the corvette emblem i think ima just let em ride. they look great on everyone else's car. just tryin to get some opinions to help me choose. been thinkin on this for days. haha

Well, since you don't like the black TTM's I'd say go with the Black ZR1's then.

well i'm tryin to spend as least amount of money as possible, haha. my max for 4 rims is about $700 and i don't particularly wanna spend that. I prefer 17x9.5 up front because i have tires for that. 17 or 18 is fine for the back as i am getting dr's for those. And I HATE the c5 zo6. some people pull them off but i wouldn't buy them. i love mesh rims..such as rpm 505's, evo's, m sports, etc...they just don't make a size i need.

Yeah, wanting +10" wide rear wheels combined with your budget severely limits your choices!

I like zr1s better on T/As for some reason but I imagine anything black with polished lip would look good.

Yeah, rivets look lame. C6 Z06 without rivets would look awesome.

Like everyone has been saying man this is really is your preference.

Personally I would not go with a black wheel on a black car(been done a lot) Id say go with a C6 Z06 chrome but you wouldn't be able to reuse your tires. But corvette wheels on any F-Body looks really good. good luck man

well they actually make the c6 zo6 with the 17x9.5 fronts so i can use my tires for front. I guess rivets are hit or miss..personally, i like them i think they make the rims pop more but i see some of yall are opposite, haha. I saw a black trans am with deep dish c5 rims. not the c5 zo6's..just regular c5 rims and it looked pretty sick.
