Default C5 deep dish
Would a 17-18 combo of C5 deep dish machined face wheels look good on a white camaro?

I say go 18 front and rear, the 17's look a little small to me. And i think polished would look best on white. Or polished/black.

The design of those wheels just don't look right in 17" like said they look small. 18 all around looks good though.

I looked through it yesterday again actually. Maybe 15 pages I saw at least 20 different cars. 17/18 combos, 18s all around, chrome, gunmetal, black.

I'm running the 17/18 combo with machined face C5 Z06 DD and I do not like 17's up front. I plan to go 18's or 19's on all 4 corners in a few months.

I would def go 18s all the way around and you wont regret it later on. Machined face would look good IMO.
