Default Help me pick new wheels

So I've spent the winter thinking about new wheels and still can't decide. I'm tired of the black on black and want something a little brighter. As much as I'd like some Streetlites, Weld RTS, or other high end billet, I don't want to spend that much since I have no garage and the car sits outside year round, not to mention it'll be a near daily driver once it warms up a bit more.

The two front runners in my mind are Anthracite Torq Thrust Ms in 17x9/17x10.5 or chrome C6 Z06 reps likely in 18x9.5 all around. Two totally different directions to go in, I know. So what think the crowd here?

My car as it sits now with TSW Nurburgrings in 17x9.5:

I like the ones on there now (color/spoke pattern), but just in an 18 x 10.5, wrapped in 295/35-18s, ALL around.

Are those Nurbs our actual bolt pattern, or the Bimmer 5 x 120??
