I started out thinking Z06s, switched to Y2Ks, now I'm loving the wagon wheel look. Plus their cheap as dirt ($100 -$200 for 4 on Ebay - bought mine for $102 plus shipping), strong, lightweight (18lbs/21lbs), sized right (17x8.5 and 18x9.5). The main advantage of the wagon wheels over the others is that the thick spokes hide the 2.5" adaptors/ spacing between the wheel and the rotor. In photos it's not that noticeable, in person it looks a bit odd with the thin spoked rims IMHO. For what it's worth............

Normally Id have to say Z06 rims, but in this case, the Y2K just look excellent.
Best case is proper backspacing though so the rims actually look correct for a period muscle car, if you have the money.
