18" Weld's ?

I'm having trouble deciding on a new wheel/tire setup, to replace the stockers. I've looked at dozens - NAY, Hundreds! - of photos of 4th gens, and thinking about going with ZR1's.

My problem is that most wheels look too skinny to me. I'm talking about the face of the wheel. ex. Z06 wheels. The thing with the salad shooters is they have more surface area to complement the f-body's round, boulbous body. (IMO, of course )

So now I'm wondering how the following wheels would look on a Camaro.

I've seen 15" wheels on these cars, tried to picture it as 17's or 18's -- and think it could look good. Whaddya think? Any pics?

Looking to buy wheels this summer. Thanks All!

Thanks all for your input. Keeps me level-headed.

Injuneer - Thanks for the pics! I may have to follow suit then with the ZR1's. They look good. They are wide. They are affordable.
