Default Trying to pick some wheels. HELP!

I'm not sure which route to take. I think I like these all equally. Any opinions/suggestions?

I already have new tires, so I need to stick with 18x9.5 rear and 17.8.5 front.

I'll post pics of each wheel, and if I have one, an example of that wheel on a car. I hope the owners of these cars don't mind

I'll post a pic of two of my car first, so you can get a good idea of how things would look. Photoshop help is always appreciated

Oh, and behind whatever wheels I chose, there are Powerstop drilled and slotted rotors, and red calipers with chrome Camaro SS decals

MY CAR(with the current silver 2000 Corvette wheels):



MACHINED BLACK 2000 CORVETTE


CHROME 2000 CORVETTE


MACHINED BLACK C6 Z06



CHROME C6 Z06



CHROME C6



BLACK TORQUE THRUST M


ANTHRACITE TORQUE THRUST M

I voted for the machined black Y2K's, as long as you get 18's all around.

I think the black machined Y2K wheels would look good since your car has the red/black theme goin.....

I like these TT2s alot too...but they're out of my price range, especially with the powdercoating. Anthracite TTMs would be an ok substitute for now.

I voted for the MACHINED BLACK C6 Z06 wheels. Man that's a damn good looking Silver SS they are on....JK, thats actually my car. I like my wheels, but I wish they had the machined outer lip also, the tires seem to blend with the wheels in pics. They do look alot better in person b/c you can see the black lip. The wheels may be up for sale in the future b/c I want to go with a more old school wheel. Good luck choosing. BTW, good looking SS you have.

Yes, that is one damn good looking silver SS

The one thing I don't like about those wheels is the black lip. There needs to be some separation between the wheel and the tire, IMO. It's a mean-looking wheel though. Kind of reminds me of the IROC wheels I had on my '91

i like the black and red look. i got some 18x9.5 black with chrome rivets no chrome lip Z06's with 275/40/18 KDW tires if you become interested.

The Ruff Racing 278's i thought had a 17'' rim but they dont, only 18 and larger. sorry
