Another help me pick my wheels!

Got a 98 TA with a firehawk hood, whole car just got repainted NBM, and now it needs wheels.

I'm pretty stuck though, I can't afford 1000 for just wheels right now so no..

I really like the C6 Z06 DD, and the C6 Z06, and the C5 DD...

I can't decide between them so I would like y'alls opinion..include pictures too

^ 2x on that. With the 17x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 out back, looks damn good.

Guess I should have said I'm gonna run 17x9.5 all around because already have 2 tires and I don't wanna have to buy 18" tires.

Well, IMO all of those options look awkward in 17's...

I say '98-'00 WS6 wheels...

agreed on early WS6 wheels....but the argent C5 Z06's look sweet on NBM too. I don't find C6 wheels, in any size, design or finish to be appealing on F-bodies.

I have a 295/35-18 on mine. And 305 would be good also.

See I think the opposite....any C6 wheel will look much better than any of the different C5 ZO6 styles. I think the C5Z is just an ugly wheel, no matter what finish, and I don't even like them on C5Z's.

IMO the C5Z wheel doesn't flow with the lines of the 'Birds at all. The straight spokes just do not go well with all the curves of the Pontiac body.

The C5Z's look mildly less offensive on Camaro's since they're not as curvy.

Out of the ones you posted, I htink the C5 DD's look good, assuming you're talking about Y2K's. I've yet to see them in person, but in piocs they always remind me of something like a CCW wheel, meaning they look more expensive than they are.

I also think a gunmetal C6 Z DD with the polished lip would look good with NBM.
