Default Can't decide which wheels for the T/A!

I need some opinions on which wheels I should get for my TA. (pictured below) My choices are black Z06 motorsports or the black torq thrusts. Both sets are used and the Z06's have about 80% tread left and the TT's have about 50% tread left, also the TT's are about $120 more overall. I wouldn't have even considered the motorsports before because I used to hate them, but I found some pictures of them on pewter TA's and they look very good on them. Let me know what you think




Z06's



Torq Thrusts

NOOOOOOOOOOO on the Z06. I can't stand those wheels, it should be against the law to mount them on 'Birds.

The Torque Thrusts will look good though, especially with the black on silver.

I would go with the black C5 corvette rims with the silver circle. Those look really nice on just about all Trans Am's regardless of color. But especially Red, black, and pewter. They look better than the c6 rims by far
