Need help on deciding which rims I should get
Ok, I've narrowed it down to these two.

I have a Black 1999 Coupe. I've been trying to find some good pics of other c5's with these rims on them, but I'm not having very much luck. What do you guys think? If you know of any pics of these post them on here please.

Either would look great on black...depends on if you want a chrome or blacked out theme for the car. I think the black lined wheels are a bit more unusual.
There should be lots of pics here of the chrome setup - maybe play with the search feature for C6Z06 wheels... G/L!

Mine are 19x11, 18x9.5 combo, but it helps with the chrome one - and I think both look great,hard choice:

I love those chrome wheels on it! I'm pretty sure those pics are convincing enough to order those. Btw, will those rims fit my tires properly? I have brand new goodyear tires on mine. The front wheels are P245/45zr17 and the back wheels are P275/40zr18

chrome deep dish
How about the chrome ones in deep dish? They look great and also look like a high dollar wheel. They will be my choice on my 99 with 18's all around for more rubber between the rim and road to soften the pot holes where I live.

I like the chromies myself.
I'm pretty sure stock rims are 8.5" wide on the front and 9.5 in the rear. I believe the fronts may be too wide for your tires and the rears are probably borderline to wide. Others will surely chime in and correct me if I'm wrong

Funny how no one answered your question - you asked it like three times in this thread....but everyone was quick to offer an opinion on which finish....
Those wheels are an inch wider than stock, and you are trying to put tires on these wheels that will be a stretch. They will fit, but frankly they're a little narrow for the wheels.
A better choice of sizes would be a 265-40x17 in front and a 295-35x18 in rear, which are Z06 sizes.
