New C5 Z06

I'm used to posting on the C6 section but sold my '08 coupe awhile back and after much thought bought a C5 Z06. It's Torch Red with Red/Black interior, Lingenfelter supercharged, Borla Stinger exhaust, Cryogenic Rotors, lowered on stock bolts with a few dress up parts.
It has nice chrome aftermarket Z06 rims, but thinking about changing to something new. Looking for any suggestions (pictures would be great) of custom wheels on C5Z06. I saw there is a sticky but many of the photos are no longer available.
Also looking for recommendations on a inside car cover.
Thanks!

I bought the rep C6 Z06 wheels but if I had the money these are the wheels I would have bought.

What wheels are those? Looks like they don't stick out past the fenders.

Wow, those are nice! Three piece are probably out of my price range.

Nice ride man! I just bought one myself. Back in July. I have the same interior. These are sweet rides and badass to the bone when you get on it. Especially with your engine setup. That thing has got to really pull with the super charger.

I'm starting to like black rims with this car. We'll see, I may get a set to try.

I bought an indoor/outdoor cover from Southern car parts. The vendor has a thread on this zo6 forum. Red/black two tone just like the interior. I needed it for in my garage but I wanted the outdoor for extra protection. Link below.
