Default Which wheels to go with?

I can't decide which wheels to put on my car. I am in the air between the black or chrome deep dish C6Z's, ZR1's, or the Ruff 279's. What do you guys think?

Black C6Z's


Chrome C6Z's


ZR1's


Ruff 279's

I say the ZR1s if they come with the ZR1 brakes that are behind them lol. Honestly though I'm not a fan of any of the ones you posted for a TR but black seems to look pretty good on TR so I vote for the black C6Zs
