Default Wheel advise:)

I'm about to change the wheels on my 67 Camaro. I need some opinions.
I have the boss 338 wheels now. And nothing wrong with them. But when I bought them for 6+years ago there was no one in Sweden even selling them and now... They are in eeeevery car.
So I want to do something else.

And here is when you people will think I'm retarded: but I actually been looking at American racing torq thrust like them with grey spokes. And I want "stepped" lip. I like that kind of details. And yes, I know that this is probably the worlds most common muscle car wheels...
But I kind of like the five spoke, but less "batman" like the boss 338.

But now I thinking.... Maybe I should think of what I really want. And that would be a black/satin black more modern wheel.. I'm aware of that we are talking completely different prices here. But I want to here your opinions. Here is a picture of my car now.

Really like those, forgeline wc3 on this mustang. http://ringbrothers.com/1966mustang_bail_out

keep it more "classic" with American racing or be more modern with some more pro touring wheels?

One thing I wonder over that maybe some of you will know or have experience of: I have purchased a wilwood brake kit front/rear and on the front kit it says that this will change the offset with +.19...
This makes me a little worried since I think it's pretty tight in the front as it is.
It will go with a ridetech level 2 kit if that matters.

Is there some offset on wheels/sizes that "I'll be safe with"?
Think I will go with 18" but maybe it can be 17" in the front..

Ok, not much of feedback in this thread
C'mon, I need all you wheel experts, designers and everybody else now:

I found "motegi racing" and got a "good deal" in Sweden and are strongly thinking of two of there wheels! Mr402 and mr403.. I'm usually not a fan of polished wheels but this 5 spoke is really growing on me...
If it will be the 402 I think I go with some other color on the spokes.
403= 17" or 18"
402= 18"

Any thoughts?
