Default Need some opinions on wheel selection>>>

Hey Guys, I know this is going to sound a little lame but I CAN NOT deside on wheel selection for my dark green 1996 WS6. I have a few options which I'll list if I could get some opinions. Please give me your vote based on the criteria...lol...thanks

BTW - If I buy the OE DD C5's or ZR1's, I'll have enough left in my budget for the new racing seats I want.

I think you already made the decision. This option is a real deal stretcher.

I voted for the dd c5 polished. I have them on my car and love the way they look on trans ams and I prefer polished aluminum over anything else. What color is your car ?

I had the C5 DD on my car a few years back and it looked really good in my opinion

What sizes of wheel and tire did you install? I was thinking 10.5's all around and 295 tires. Not sure if that means I can rotate them or not...

My Car is dark green - you know, the 90's favorite color!

Wheels are 17x9.5 all around.
Front tires: 275/45/17 nitto 555
Rear tires: 275/45/17 Nt05r drag radials
I think those rims especially in polished look awesome against colors like your dark green, navy blue metallic, cayenne red ( color of my car )
I think the contrast is perfect in those colors that have a deeper, richer look to the paint
