a 17 by 11 with a lip and proper offset 96-01 WS6 rim.
If you look around, many of the firebird guys go with a corvette ZR1 17 by 11 wheel for wide tires on a budget on these cars. I would love a set of them for my WS6 (in chrome please, but also in polished, since that is what the factory wheels are)
https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/813077-widened-ws6-wheels.html This is a good thread to read.
Eveybody will want a CCW/FISKE/HRE look rim, but without the 2-3 piece, and machined wheel, it will not have the "wow" factor of a big dollar wheel. (imho)
Oh, and just for fantasy, I want a lot of wheels in the $125 a piece price range like the mustang guys have

Also, I'd like some rims, I believe they are called Salad Shooters. I heard that GM only made 500 sets, and I've been considering getting a used set on eBay if I can find them. I know they'd be heavy, but they look real nice.

1) C5 ZO6 in 18x11 with a lip maybe 2inches, and 19x11 with a lip
2) Corvette magnesium wheels in oem size plus 18x10, 18x11 in gunmetal, silver, black, and chrome
3) AC Schnitzer type 3s stagered. i dont know if this one counts but ive always loved them and once i put them on my 96 WS6- unbelievable. But when they're staggered make the spokes stick out further on the wider rims rather than add a lip, like factory.

type 2s are nice too but ive never seent hem on an fbody i dont know about those
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ac-Sc...spagenameZWDVW
4) Chrysler 300c srt-8 rims in our offset and bolt pattern
im just throwing my own ideas out there or what ive thought would look nice on an fbod but its impossible to see.
