Thumbs up Undecided help me pick em!!

Ok I bought me a new project Trans Am a few months ago (a 98 ws6) and I now have the interior, stereo and suspension finished. Now I am turning my attention to the one thing that can make or break the look of any customized car and my bank account and credit cards.....THE DAM WHEELS. I have narrowed the search to 5 wheels THAT I CAN AFFORD, I Forged and HRE's are way out of my budget as I still have the motor mods to do next. I would like to know what back spacing I should get on both front and back to help bring the wheel more out of the fender well, but not too far.I will more than likely go 18X10 and 18x9 with 335/30/18 in rear and 275/35 in front. Here are pics of the 5 finalists, give me your recomendations on wheels and back spacing as i can custom order on any of them with the back spacing i need. Or maybe you can recommend a different wheel I have yet to come across (doubtful as I have been looking for a couple of months)

Intro Pentia

Centerline Daggers

Boyd Coddington Osiris

Billet Specialties GTX20

Billet Specialties Rebel


Thanks

If you can afford Billet Specialties, then you can afford HRE's and iForged. And the Boyd Osiris looks the best, btw.

The Billet Specialties i have chose are between 590.00 to 650.00 a wheel where as the Iforged and Hre's are over 1000.00 a piece! Id like to save a little to do my motor.
