No offence, a jacked up 4x4 pickup truck come to mind.

vettes are low, mean and fast. 18 on all for corners, 18x295/35 front and 18x315/30 rear.

But hey who am I. It is your car. Good luck with what ever you do.

Only 27"?? OK Normal wheels are about 25 1/2" SO still an inch 1/2 taller. But I Do hear you. There are sooooo many wheels out there. Hard to choose.

CCW makes great wheels, HRE, BBS, Fiske, Kodiak are another popluar brand to name a few.

just like to be different all the wheels you suggested do look great but all I have to do is look through the gallery and I'll see the same one's over and over not that any are bad looking in fact I have the stock magnesium on now and I don't see many of them. I may see how the rears fit on the front and get a pair to run on all four corners
