Default WTB: Grand Sport Wheels, or next best equivalent

I'm looking for some 17x11 Grand Sport wheels I can run on my '03 ZO6.

I can probably get some after markets from House of Wheels of TomZ, but would prefer OEM.

Worse case, anyone selling some stock Z rears that I could run up front?

Real GS wheels are very hard to find and the cost $$$$$. The best reproductions are at the Grand Sport Registry.

$1090 on the GS registry. I can afford it. I just don't want to spend that much. Looks like OEMs are out to the question.

The weight disadvantage from buy from TomZ or any other is a couple pounds per wheel. I suppose it doesn't matter to me right now, but if I get more serious about this racing stuff, I'd rather not find myself having to buy another set of wheels.

The knockoffs are heavy but it will be quite a while before it is a real issue. I still run some knockoffs.

If you get serious about the track you will have more than one or two sets of wheels and tires.
