17x9 c5 wheels. on a firebird?

here's the deal. i have a 1994 firebird. i just cut the t-tops into it. i am painting the car silver with a black bonnet (like the z28s) and a ram air hood. i will eventually make it a gnx powered car. for now, i am wondering wether to paint the 16 inch t/a wheels black w/a machined lip to copy the 2002 c/e wheels, or paint a set of c5 17x9 saw blade wheels black with a machined lip. i ran a search and came up with nothing. does anyone have any pics or feel like doing a photoshop?

any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't like the "sawblade wheels", use the T/A wheels, or get differant ones.

But what ever you want

18" Corvette C5 fatspokes, powdercoated black with a silver lip.

DO IT!

If you want to keep it simple though, 35th Anniversary SS wheels might look pretty sweet with your color setup.

Keep us updated!

i thought about the fatspokes....... still trying to decide though. i also made an error in the original post: i meant c4 wheels. the c5's look good though. it all depends on what i can get a set for.
