Help, can't decide which ROH wheels

Just finished painting my 84 Z-28 white. Can't decide if I want 16 or 17 ROH zs or Snypers on my car. Will the 17"s look out of place with my stock 84 Z-28 narrow ground effects? Any help or pics would be appreciated.

Fastback,
There is another person on this board who has a white IROC with ZS wheels and it looks really cool.

I have the same question too but mine is painted black.

I'm thinking 16 inch snypers are probably the best choice. But the 17 inch ones look really sharp

Another vote for the 17's. I prefer the ZS, but the snypers are nice too.

Without a doubt go with 17's!!! I ended up going with the snypers too!! I wish i could have gotten them in chrome tho. that's my only complaint!! If you want to PM me and make me an offer, I might consider getting rid of them!! I have had them for 1 month!! 245/45/zr17 rubbers!

I think 17s will look better. If you can afford it, then go with the 17s.

17 is the perfect size for our cars.

They were meant to be there in the first place....
