Default Need some ideas for wheels. Updated with pics

So I think its about time for some wheels. I'm currently running oem painted black but that's short lived. So I think my options are powder coating the current wheels black. Black chrome Z06 spyders maybe some blk deep dish c5 with chrome lips. Idk I'm torn and looking for some opinions...

I like the look of the c6 zr1's in all black. I think they would look real nice on your car with that color.

The thought had crossed my mind for some c6 zr1 but I fear they're too busy for my taste. I'm more of a 5 spoke guy. recently I've been really leaning towards matte black c5 deep dish. I just wish I could see them in real life before buying them...

I saw C6 ZR1 wheels on a 4th gen Camaro...for me I use to want those wheels so bad for mine. After seeing them in person I can say I won't be buying them.

Thanks for all of the replys. Tork? Those spyders look great. And 67rally I appreciate you phototshopping my car that's helped tremendously and actually opened me up to more options. I thought I was anti gunmetal and chrome until you showed me that I was wrong. Same point in time you've gave me so many more wheels to choose from.

No problem. It's always easier when you can see them on your own car.

Finally got 17x9.5 c5 dd wheels. Imo they look great. For the price they were more than worth it.
