Your options will be to buy cheap, cast, heavy Chinese replica wheels, or just save a few hundred bucks more and get some decent rotary-forged Forgestar wheels.

Need help choosing wheels for SILVER c5z
I'm having a very hard time choosing what wheels should belong on my quicksilver C5 Z06. I really could use some ideas. I want to keep it under $1500ish for wheels. Seems like silver is the hardest color to choose wheels for! I currently have stock wheels in stock sizes painted black (previous owner) and I'm not a huge fan of it.
Please share pictures of silver C5's with aftermarket wheels.

I should just close this thread down since my budget seems to be too small.
I've been thinking of running 18" OEM z06 speedlines all around. Possibly get them painted Cyber Grey at work. Really just looking to see what colors and designs work well on a silver Z.

Frankly, getting two new Speedline 18 inch OEM wheels is the best value out there, although Forgestar and TSW make decent wheels at fair price. I once got a set of black center/polished lip Chinese tank bogies and my car felt like it had eaten too much. Unsprung weight is a bad thing--don't do it--and most cheap wheels are really heavy and not very strong. Don't dare track them....

Black with red rim is cool too. And different. Everyone does machined rim.
IMHO! };^)
