Need Help With Wheels Selection

Ok so I have a GMC Syclone and right now i can't decide on some new wheels.r Im looking for some opinions and wondering what a different crowd would think and suggest. I just put qa-1 coilovers and tubular a-arms on the front and qa-1 12 way adjustable shocks on the back. The truck already has belltech lowering leafsprings in the back. If anyone is fimilar with the the syclone and typhoons alot of guys run corvette wheels on them. They bolt right on and can be had in 17 and 18 with at least 315 or 335 tires. Most guys either run the zr-1 or zo6 rims. But im so tired of staying with the norm of corvette wheels. Currently i have corvette grand sport wheels on my truck and they are leaving before the summer.

heres my grand sports (basically zr-1) 17x9.5 and 17x11





here' some zo6 wheels 18x12 and 18x9.5







So ive narrowed it down to three wheels all of which were on syclones at one point but arent anymore

Here is a set of fikse fm5. Alot of people love the thick 5 spoke look and say these wheels fit the 90's style of the truck







Here is a set of CCW classic in 18's.



here is a set of hre 504's pictured below much like BBS RS wheels. Which i have made some contacts and can get the BBS RS wheels built to all my specs. These wheels are timeless and are on top of the list.








so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. thanks guys

I'm liking the Z06 wheels.

And I'm not sure how I like an RS style wheel on a Syclone.. I would say go Super RS but I can't find anything bigger than a 10" barrel. (they're 2-pc) Just talk about some guy in Germany that makes them who I can't find.

Let me know if u find any one that's makes 10 inch barrells. I'm dealing with a company named rotiform about making the bbs rs.

The zo6 wheels do look good. The bfg kdw tire also makes it look huge. The wheels are 18x12

^ x2, the classics are my fav wheel of all time, with the RS's a close second, but not on that truck... stick with a classic look.

the zo6 wheels do look great and the truck looks like it is tubbed so I love that. But the look is because of the fact the zo6 wheels are 18x12 and the tires are 335 or 345.

I'm def leaning more towards 18's then 17's and either chrome or polished, unless it's a mesh style wheel then the center maybe be done in black with a chrome or a polished lip

I love the Fikse wheels. They are f'in hot on that truck. There isn't much they don't look hot on, but those rims really set the truck off. Classics would be my second choice. Mainly because they remind me of the old meshie stuff that used to come on firebirds and whatnot in the 80s.
