Default Need help choosing rims!!

Currently I have 17in. silver Z06 wheels on all fours of the TA. It is not lowered and I dont want to lower it. I am wanting to switch to either chrome 18in Z06's with the 10.5in in the back or 18in. evos all around. Will the car look right with 18in. wheels and no drop or will it just look stupid. I ask cuz it looks pretty good with the 17s right now but am not sure about the 18s. And if I go with evos I dont know whether to get the light or dark ones.

Heres a pic so you can see what would go better with the car.

I can tell you first hand that 18's on all 4 without a drop will not look right. I put 18x9.5's on my previous TA and it looked pitiful until I installed a set of Eibach pro kit springs. My current TA has 17's and before I had springs installed it looked great. The thumbnail below is a pic of my current TA with stock springs and shocks. And here is a link to my old 99 TA, the last pic on page 2 in the album is before the springs were installed!! My Former 99
Hope this helps!!

I say go with black Z06's. That's what I'm going with and a couple pics a local guy supplied me with sealed the deal.

It's an LT1, but it's the same basic shape except for the front.

Lower it. It will look better with the taller rims.
