Default Pewter WS6--->Please help with wheels opinions/pics!!!

I'm going to get out of drag racing and make my car more of a street car.I'd love to get a GTO but I have $$$ into my WS6 to let it go so I'm going street/strip now.

I will NOT run the car on anything other than a DR after Nov 11th,no more slicks/skinnies.That being said,I want a 17X9.5 with 275/40/17's on the car and I'm going to lower the car about 1/2in since I have Hals/Whizzer rear springs.

Could u guys put up some pics of Pewter WS6 cars with wheels or reccomend a wheel that would compliment my Pewter beast?

I want a street car again

FM5's own all...i love those fuggin' wheels, i want some so bad but i just cant make myself spend that much money on something thats not going to do anything for performance
btw, i also love TT2's...i guess alot of people have them, but that is just a testament to how good looking they are..and they are alot cheaper than fiskes

A member on ls1tech, "toonz" I belive, has a really nice formula with 17/18 gunmetal zo6 rims that match his car beautifully. Looks awsome. The only thing is I don't know if his car is pewter or silver. Anybody know?, because after seeing his car he made me consider that color choice for my future car.

Here was my choice. They even look better now that the car is lowered. I will have to find a pic of it 1" lower.

I think it's a pewter firehawk maybe? With some black custom paint around the nose?

Yeah, that's the guy, but I don't know if his car is Pewter or Silver. I really want to know.
