what kind of wheels should i go with on my formula

I cant decide on whitch wheels I should go with on my 1990 red ram air formula. Im leaning tward the Z06, ROH ZS, or the third gen firehawk wheels. Of course Im going to go with the 17 x 9.5. let me know what you think.

The SLP Firehawks are nice, but imo the ROH ZS wheels set the Firebirds off right!!!

Another vote for Ronals here. I don't think you'll find any like mine anymore, but you might be able to score a set of the regular variety at Hawks.

Personally Id go with Boyd coddington Tuned, but if its between the z06 and the Roh's, I say go with the one that has the most deep dish so the Roh ZS rims.
