You have to narrow it down to price point...then go from there IMO. What's the best looking "cheap" wheel? Much different than what's the best looking $4-6k set of wheels.
For a cheap wheel - the Forgestar rotary forged F14's are hard to beat (I have them).

For a more expensive wheel, the choices are pretty enormous. HRE, Forgeline, COR, 360 Forged, D2 Forged, True Forged, etc...
If I were to do it over again (and spend another $3k+ over what I bought), I'd go with these 360 Forged:

First you are looking for the cheapest tire, Now the best non CCW wheel.
Hmmmm.
Hmmmm.
In my opinion I think a wheel that is a really nice looking wheel that is not a CCW is a FIKSE wheel, I may be a little biased.

D2 Forged & Supervettes SV Forged look much better than CCW. CCW are nice, but if I invest a lot of cash in wheels it will be for something not everyone has.

The 360 Forged wheels that I just sold:
I've got plenty more pictures. These wheels spent almost zero time at all actually on a car and were stored inside a house for the majority of their lives. 2 different sets of chrome rings rusted within a year. The paint on the centers was cracked and peeling almost from the day they were new....
I finally sold them for a massive loss because I bent one and quite simply didn't want to deal with them again to get it fixed.
If I ever decided to go back to an "expensive" set of wheels on the C5, it would be CCW. I had 2 sets for my C4 track car and another set on my Z06 at 1 point. They make great wheels and just as importantly are a great company to work with.
