Personally, I like the longer thinner spoke and fatlip of the Forgeline better then the Fiske. But I think this gives a good idea of wht they may look like and it is going in the direction I like.

Wish I could photchop Penny's Forgeline wheels onto your car.. I think the charcoal centered mesh wheels would look killer.

Those Fiske wheels look very nice as well.. a dark centered wheel would give the car more of a "bad ass" look though.

SW the 5s looks good, perhaps Mark will let you borrow the wheels off Camaro X so you can see them with a dark center...well it was a thought!!

I am still pulling for the mesh look though....big suprise eigh.

I think mesh would be the way to go. I also think you should stick with a darker color center. I would go 18x12 rear and 18x8 front (assuming you have stock front subframe). Even though the car looks stock, this style wheel would definitely lean toward the road race look. Just my 2 cents. GO 2ND GENS!!!!!!
