Aftermarket C7 wheels on 94
I've been on the search for wheels for about 6 months now and the time has come on getting tires as well, so I shall do it all at once. I found some c7 replica wheels that are spaced for a c4. As much as I hate to buy foreign made wheels I simply can't afford GM made ones at $300 a pop and they don't come in 17's. The seem to have good reviews and they look darn good on a c5. I have attached a link to a photo and the wheels. Opinions?

I plan to run 275/40's all the way around. They are significantly cheaper than 285/40 and have a lot more options. They will make my speedo display 59 at 60 mph so a very small difference and a lost of 3/8 of an inch of width.

I've used OE Wheels for some A-mold replicas. Heavy but I never had an issue with balance. Are you ordering with tires from the vendor or doing tires locally? I would balance or at least check the wheels by themselves and then do tires. An old habit that's hard to break.
Tells you a good bit regarding the wheel and even more the tire. If the balance of the wheel is correct you just have the tire guy rotate the tire until you get what you want OR have them swap the tire until you get what you want.
