As mentioned above, ZR-1s are overdone, but they look sweet has hell. I would choose any of those rims. The C5 rims being my least favorite, IMO. Any of those will be a big upgrade from the C4 rims that are on the car now

Re: Which wheels should I go with?

If you get the C5 Deep Dish or C5 Z06, I'd run 18x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 out back. Any of the others I'd run 17x9 up front and 17x11 out back. I'd say ZR-1's are the most popular f-body wheel and for two very good reasons, they're cheap and they look good. You can pick up replicas for $600 or less. I originally considered getting the C5 DD and shied away from ZR-1's because they are so widely used, but now that I have mine I wouldn't trade how they look on my car for anything, except I'd like to have 11's on the back.

I never liked the ZR1 design, they look worse than stock, I've always liked the c5/c6 much better. The torque Thrust M's would look really good too.

I've got 17" C5 DD in black/polished, and love them on my red Z. For black they would look sick in chrome. C5 got my vote
