Wheel suggestions

I'm looking to replace my wagon wheels, keeping the same tires (stock sizes) and need some suggestions on an inexpensive alternative wheel and a good vendor. HRE's are not in the budget.

Here is a picture of my new Cray Scorpion wheels (18x9 front and 19x10.5 rear). Installed last week. Not much more than reproduction after market wheels but not the same as everyone elses.

Depending on what color your car is, I like the look of the C6ZO6 wheels on my pewter:
Tomz wheels can't be beat in my book. I had one that was out of round when I got it and they drop shipped me another one in two days..........

Check out the offerings of TomZWheels or House of Wheels. They have some nice looking, reasonably priced reproduction wheels for the C5.
