Default Need help choosing wheels!

Finally in the market for wheels, but I still havent made up my mind..Maybe you guys could help me decide..I have narrowed it down a bit, for sure deep dish....
Thanks so much.

It is a Silver 2000 Camaro z28.

From OE:
17" Polished zr1's-17x9.5 -17x11

17" Black w/machined lip zr1's- 17x9.5-17x11

18" C5 Deep Dish w/machined face, black with machined lip or polished????

Or maybe something else....This is just a big investment for me and I do not want to make the wrong decision..

I also would like to the tires to stick out just a tiny bit on the rear, so I need some advice on the offset? I guess..

BTW I will be adding strano springs after.

I like the wheels you listed, but personally my favorite wheels on these cars are either the c6 z06's like mine or torque thrusts.

Yeah I love everything about the torque thrusts except for the price, out of my price range.....Your car is beautiful though...

If you're going to lower the car in the future, you certainly don't want the tires "sticking out a little".....They'll be "colliding" with the rear fenders whenever you hit a bump!

I say C5 or 6 DD wheels from OE would look killer.

I say C5 DD 17x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 in the rear and if the car is silver or pewter I'd go with polished.
