Default WHEELS : 17/18, OR 18/18, OR 18/19 inch ????

Hey guys, I'm looking for C6 chrome wheels (motorsport style) for my C5 coupe. I am considering a few options, whats the best in your opinion. Feel free to share your views.

17/18 - 17X9.5 (Front) 18X10.5/11 (Rear) ___ Z06 size.
18/18 - 18X9.5 (Front) 18X10.5/11 (Rear)
18/19 - 18X9.5 (Front) 19X10.5/11 (Rear)

I've got stock Magnesium wheels. I wanna go for wider tires soon, so would you suggest the new wider sizes mentioned above. What's the best combo guys?

I'm so looking forward to the replies.... Plz give your feedback.

Thanks in advance

P.S: Plz show Pix if you have any....

On a C5 I would personally go with a 18/18 or 18/19 combo.

18x9.5" w/ 275/35/18 up front and 18x10.5/11 w/295/35/18 out back.

18x9.5" w/ 275/35/18 up front and 19x10.5/11 w/ 295/30/19 out back.

The 18/19 combo will maintain the look of the factory setup with a frontal rake, but either setup will be fine and you wont have any issues with the active handling or traction control.
