Default C6 Z06 replicas on firebird , regulars look better ?

I tried searching but i cant exactly find something useful in searches so heres my thread.
im trying to choose what wheels to get on my 98 Firebird vert , i've decided on C6 Z06 wheels , and most probably 18s all around.
i've seen TA's with DD's and they look great , but for some reason i dont think they look that good on firebirds , i guess the DD looks better with the aggressive bumpers and especially a WS6 hood.
so if any of you guys have pictures , or opinions i'll be glad to hear.

They will look just fine.
All you would need is a drop and that would be it.
what color wheel are you going with since its a white car.
Powdercoated black or gun metal?
I found these two pics. Its not a vert TA but you get the idea.

IMO you should get those blk wheels you photoshop, since you got a black vert top, & 5% tint all around!

thats the thing anyway , i hate the stockers , but rims arent something i could easily exchange , plus im trying to finish of suspension and appearence mods so i can save up to drop in an engine.. i just dont want to get something i'll get bored of quickly. im leaning against the black ones atm.. still open to opinions. might go ahead and order them these days..
BTW Mr.Z./28 thanks for the pics
