C5 Z06 motorsports, 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 I believe they cost around $900 back 8 years ago. They also come in black. Mid America as well as many others carry this model. They have held up very well.

Man, I am really starting to like the look of those! Are the rears only 10" wide? What size tires are you running?

This thread boils down to ccws and rubber for $4000 or lesser priced wheels and rubber for $2000. This is really our most common 2 options. You either spend ,$4000 or $2000.

This thread just proves that you can have really nice looking wheels at a modest price. They may not be totally unique, but they totally look good.
