I'll post some more when I get time to mess around with photoshop again.
EDIT: BTW they are not supposed to be gold. My friend Shawn said they look gold to him. I hope it isn't that way on everyone's computer. They don't look gold on mine.

what is #2?
i saw a thirdgen with nich ghini's that looked great! pretty much like old-school welds but just larger openings. one of those things that you just have to see in person.
go with your best instinct and pick them for yourself. personally i'd do something different that isn't seen on every thirdgen.

I think #2 are made by KMC. The ROH Snypers(#1) do look good, but they also look kind of plain to me. I want something nice, something different, and something that will show off my 1LE brakes.
I see alot of wheels that I like, but then it seems like everyone has them. I would keep my original wheels, but they're trashed.

I'm personally a fan of #3. 
However, the photoshop of #3 does this wheel no justice. This wheel looks awesome in person on my third gen!
Here is a close up of the wheel:

number 1 looks the best to me. number 3 is a close second, but they're more common on our cars anyway.

Here's the original picture. My wheels don't look that bad in the picture, but up close they're a mess, with faded paint and the clear coat is coming off. I've been sanding them in an attempt to get them polished, but no luck so far. I want to have some nice looking wheels before the Nationals.

I think I have it narrowed down between these 3. Z06 wheels, 17" 85-87 IROC's, and 17" 88-90 IROC's. Keep the opinion's coming please, and if anyone else would like to try their hand at photoshop, please be my guest.

Hey Mike.....I don't think the 88-90 Iroc Z wheels come in 17 inch. I think it's just 16's.....that's the only size option on thirdgenresource....

rims
I want to polish etc my 16"s, but of course I have no center caps...
someone milled some stainless caps and glued them on (gonna have fun getting them off)
he did all 4 but drove before the front 2 set, so I'm missing caps...
I want to get something like that again, but have them kinda bolt on able... kinda a like the outside of those pricey rims with all those hex screwbolts on them.. but do little one... and it would involve doing some drilling and tapping on the rims... anyone done anything like this.. and had enough lip on the inside of the lip to do this?
I don't think it will comprimised the integrity of the rim...

twiztidz28, be careful of those deals. the tires they give in most instances aren't worth it not to mention half the time the rims are made by shady companies........
not trying to persuade you, just making sure you watch out. mine were alot more then that and i got a deal, wouldn't want someone to get burned.
