Default Opinions please?

Hey guys I am about to get some new rims for my Formy since two of mine are bent a bit from the previous owner and the car shakes at speed. It is a red 98 Formula.
My choices are either Black ZR1's 17x9.5 and 17x11 with 275's and 315's or
Black C5 Z06's either all black or with the polished lip in 17x9.5 and 18x10.5
w/ 275's and 295's.
I like both rims but cant decide if I want to go with the 11's out back or the 18's. The 18's would be quite a bit more expensive for tires and I would probably suffer in traction. I wish they made the Z06's in a 17x11. Please help.
Thanks

I am definately leaning more towards the ZR1's. I have loved those wheels since the Gran Sport came out in 96'. I am also a sucker for 11" wide rims with 315's.
