Trying to settle on a set of wheels for my z28. I can't make up my mind! I'm definitely getting 17's all around. The car is a 93 z28, red with black roof, smoked tails, black camaro inserts, xenon body kit, ss wing... Got the red/black thing going so far.

IMHO, the only one that would look good in 17's would be the zr1's. the c6 z06's would definately need to be a 18/19 combo to look good

Looks like I will definitely be getting the DD C5's. Maybe I can find a cheap set of 18" tires by then. I really want 18's but I've already got a set of brand new 17" tires.

Yeah the zo6 rims do not look good in a 17 what so ever,but I think the gun metal or dark grey would look good ,might break up some of the black a lil.

None of the above. Get C5 Z06 wheels or ZR-1s.
