Default Need help choosing wheels for my Camaro...have to order them tonight or tomorrow!!!

I have been looking and looking and have come down to three choices for my new wheels. I would really like to hear your opinions on what I should go with and why. The first two choices are the TT copies from Summit Racing, and the other are the MB Wheels . I just have not seen many of these wheels on the Camaros and I have a hard time visualizing them on my car.

This is my car, Weld Wheels are gone now, and the rear is coming back down level.

These are my choices that I have come down to that I can afford. Either way I am planning on using 255/45-17 front tires and 285/40-17 rear tires prob kumho spt's.

Either of the Summit Racing wheels grey or chrome will come 17x8 w/4.5" bs, and 17x9 w/5" bs.

The grey wheels I can have shipped to my door for $571
The chrome wheels I can have shipped to my door for $677

....
Next choice is the MB Wheels Coy's copies. I like these wheels alot because of the nice lip and the rear wheels have a much larger lip than the fronts. I can't even think about affording these in chrome,LOL!!!

These wheels will come in 17x8 w4.5" bs for the front, and 17x9.5 w/ 5.5" bs. I can have these shipped to my door for $633.

I like the Coys. This guy has close to the same suspension as me.
