I bought my wheels from AFS:
http://www.afswheels.com/
I used their ebay store:
http://stores.ebay.com/AFS-Wheels
because the price was siginicantly cheaper. I called them and asked if I could just order the ebay wheels over the phone, and I was told that all ebay items must be bought through ebay. You may have to wait a couple of weeks for the 84-87 wheels to come around (I did), but it is nice to have a direct bolt on wheel with no spacers.
I did that and I have enjoyed my wheels.

I also bought my wheels from AFS. Since I live in Canada they wont allow me to order them from ebay. I called them and they gave me the same price as they had on ebay. Great people to deal with!

While AFS wheels are excellent wheels, they are not billet wheels but castings. A one-piece billet wheel will be expensive!! Don't recall ever seeing a ZR-1 style wheel in billet.

Even OE wheels and Boyd's are cast.
Billets' = Big Bucks (If you can find them)
