Help me pick wheels
C5 Z06/Z16 polished (17x9.5/265 front, 18x10.5/295 rear):
C5 5 spoke style Deed Dish chrome (Z06 sizes/offset, 17x9.5/265 front, 18x10.5/295 rear):
TSW Nurburgring, Gunmetal with polished face (18x9/265 front, 19x10.5/305 rear):
I'm kind of leaning towards the C5 Deep Dish, they are a little heavier (about 3lbs a wheel over stock), but that will be made up for by going to non-runflats.

Out of those three options, I like the Z06 wheels the best.

Your profile avatar has your car with the 5 spokes. The 5 spokes in the pic's you added are almost the same just deep dish. Even though I have the Z wheels on my car (purchased 5 years ago), they are over done. I like the TSW's the best.

Yes, I actually like the 5 spoke style, I just want something a little more aggressive (which the deep dish would do) and I want more rubber (which they will do as well). The TSWs are very nice though, and would give even wider rubber (it's amazing how much wider 305s on 19s are than295s on. 18s), and have more tire choices.
