The only wheel we have in the exact sizes are the chrome thin spokes.
Most of our wheels upgrade the front to a 1 inch wider wheel which still works for the base models. The offsets bring the wheels out flush with the fenders and QTR panels which produces a more aggressive look.

Lots of aftermarket wheels to choose from. There are the C5 Z06 wheels in chrome, C6 wheels in chrome (which you should be able to get in stock sizes), and as mentioned above, companies like Cray and I-forged make some nice wheels.

That's what I figured. I am prepared to pay around a grand, but would like to get by cheaper if possible, don't want to buy junk however. $1500 seems awfully high for wheels, but that may be what it takes. Like I said, want to get right the first time and not waste money on junk.

If you are not concerned about the price than I would select one of the top brands, but if you want a chrome wheel that fits a normal budget, go with one of the many reproduction wheels. I bought a set of stock C5 size with the correct offset for my '01 about 4 years ago and paid about $800.00.

I just installed a set of repo c5 wheels for my 04. There was a mistake in the order and I received a chrome thin spoke 17x8.5 for the front (stock Size) and they accidentally sent a chrome 5 spoke deep dish chrome 18x9.5 (stock size) for the rear. Fatter spokes plus the deep dish look. They sat in the garage for a week and I never saw the mistake until after they were installed. Called the wheel co. and they were willing to send me the correct wheels for the rear at their cost with no shipping, but the more I looked at them the more I liked them. Now I love the look and so do most people who see the car. They give the rear a wider look than a thin spoke. Around 700.00 for the set and the chrome is perfect and the installer, A good friend with a top shelf front end business told me he was amazed at how true the wheels actually were. Chinese cast as you would expect for this price. Very happy I bought them. I thought I read where you cannot post URL's to non supporting vendors and I am not sure if they are or not so if you are interested pm me for more info.

First of all I was not trying to be a smart a$$, but based on the post above it is somewhat of the question.
