Help me select some rims

I'm going to purchase some new rims for my 91z28 and I need help choosing between two style of rims. I'm going to get them on ebay because of their awesome prices. Anyways, the first one I have in mind are 18x9 C5 Z06 "saleen style" rims. These rims are 18x9 with a 7.00" backspace (+50mm offset) and the lug pattern is 5x4.75 (120.65mm). Now I'm pretty sure they will fit on my car but what kind of spacers would I need? Can anybody photoshop the rims on a camaro to have an idea how they look?




My second choice are the 18" IROC replicas. These look awesome as well. Just check out the pick of a camaro with them on. The reason I'm looking at these rims is because I just got everything ready for a C5 brake conversion up front with slotted rotors and I want them to be real visible. What do you guys think? Corvette or Iroc rims? Once again if anybody can photoshop the corvette rims for me on a camaro I would really appreciate it. That would help me greatly on my decision.

You cant go wrong with 18" Chrome IROCS. A couple local guys have them.. Looks gorgeous.

C5 wheels will require 2" adapters, but since you will have C5 brakes aswell, you will need 1.7" adapters up front and 2" in the rear. So will have to add those to the cost.

Rims

Thanks alot for the reply. I thought nobody was going to answer. I'm probably going with a fourth gen rear with disc brakes so I can avoid those spacers and just purchase the front ones for the corvette rims. Can someone please put the corvette rims on picture that I provided of a third gen and can you put the car in red?
