Fikse FM5s

Price varies based on size and finish, but they aren't cheap.

I would do Chrome (aka polished )or gunmetal c5 deep dish that oewheels sells.
17 front will a small lip then a 18 rear with a good 2-3" lip since you like the fm5s

18 inch tires are scarce and expensive. Staggered means no rotating too.

I'm a fan of C5 Z06s.. especially the chrome ones. C5 Thin spokes are also sweet, C4 ZR1s are ugly IMO.

don't like chrome C6Zs?
I'd leave it; black won't compliment that paint as well as a polished/chrome would. I'm personally not crazy about C5Z & C4 ZR1 wheels.

If you're hell-bent on those 4 options though, I'd go with the C4 ZR1s.

If not, take a closer look at the C6Z06 wheels and the C5 thin-spokes, both in a polished or chrome finish.
