Default C5`s with Chrome C6 Z06 Style rims-pics please

I`m thinking to changing my chrome wagons to chrome C6 Z06 style rims in stock sizes, so please state the size of your rims in the pictures and if is lowered or not. I`d like to see the look of stock size rim and larger ones as well.
Also, going larger (18-19 combo) would decrease performance b/c larger rim means heavier and therefore less acceleration? What`s your input...my 98 is Torch Red BTW Thanx

Any wheel would be an improvement over the Wagon Wheels, but here area few pictures of mine '01 with the C6 Z06 style wheels.

Ok, I will be the first to post the Deep Dish C6 Z06 look. The wheels are the C5 Z06 sizes with the C5 Z06 size tires. The car is lowered with bushings cut in front and longer bolts in the back. The extra inch in the width makes a great deal difference in how the tires fit the wheel well area I think.

They are the stock size 17/18, and it is lowered a small amount in the rear, next week I plan to drop it down the max on the stock bolts.

the forum vendors sell them in c5 offset sizes so should just bolt right up.

mine are 18x9.5 and 18x10.5, stock ride height.... for now.
