Firehawk rims will work but a bit pricy, compared to aftermarket c5 rims , im thinking of 17x8 front and 18x9 in the rear.

On a GTA, I would say the C5s. I'd go with 17s in the front, 18s out back. It would fill the wheel well nicely, not many people have them, and im not sure how irocs would look on a GTA. Just my

Yeah, definetly the C5's over the irocs. Something about it just wouldn't.......click. IMO if I had a bird I would either put one of two kinds of wheels on it.......Roanl Firehawks, or the Centerline Sundance Lazers like on 87tpi's 89 t/a. The centerlines are amazing....the dish is more than half a dollar bill. I attached a pic of them. But I havn't given you any ideas, go with the C5's over irocs.

Maybe this time?

EDIT: Well it's not attaching the image. It's a JPEG so it should be working. But trust me, it looks REAL good with Z06s.
