Default Best looking wheels for a red 97 Z28?

I just bought a '97 Z28 and haven't officially decided which wheels are going on her. You guys have any pics of yours? I'm interested in any as long as they aren't larger than 19s or 20s.

I have a red 98 Z28 and I really like the Gunmetal c5 deep dishes...

and a great tire to fit this wheel is a Nexen N3000 or BFGoodrich G-force KDW2

Also not sure what style you're looking for but you get 10 Spoke SS wheels on ebay for about $500 and those always look great.

No one is going to look at your car more than you will, so go with what you like!

I have c5 on my car right now , and polishing a set of 10 spokes to put on it now. Some like the c5's , some don't. I like them on my car , the reason I'm switching is 18" tires cost to much.

Agreed...I really think chrome ZR1 96-02 rims look badass on red Camaros.

Not a 97, but a Red Camaro with Anodized Black 17x9.5 F 17x10.5 R Weld RT-S. Offsets are actually not as aggressive as you could go, so you could get more lip on these or run an 11" out back.

No budget fm5s for sure,got some cash to spend 17x7,17x11 streetlites are the best looking for the money,if ya wanna spend a lil more weld rts are a killer looking wheel but im not super crazy about them,now the offset on the sti killer is beyond amazing,more lip makes those wheels look so much better,
