If it is a tie for you, think about cleaning and polishing. The 500s will be easier to polish.

Both are gorgeous.

505A's are more unique though.

Yes without tires. I am buying 18x10 and 18x11s, but all sizes are $2600
Tires go for anywhere from 1000-1500 (I suspect the BFGs will come in at 1K for all 4)

Shipping is I believe $170 for FL to NJ
So just under 4,000 for a set

Those two cars I've seen in person and I'd have to say those wheels are amazing. Only down side to them is that polishing them is a major bitch, trust me I helped my friend with the yellow Z06 polish those wheels. I suggest getting them chromed for less maintenance.
Now for my opinion of the look on a particular car:
SP500's for a Camaro and 505A's on a Firebird no doubt.

I plan to get them chromed after a year or so
