Wheel/Tire Sets
I am looking for a good vendor that sells wheel/tire sets for my C5. It's proving difficult! I'd like to not have to deal with a separate tire vendor. I'm looking for a good chrome 18/19 combo.
Thanks!

what is your budget for tires and wheels.... and are you going to replace your tire pressure sensors? Are you looking for cheap, or quality... most here seems to look for cheap, especially with a 15 year old car... Only a select few would consider buying a quality wheel.
I asked about budget because there is such a vast difference in style, quality. etc. Run flats, or conventional.
since you are looking for tires and wheels , now is the time to replace the tire pressure sensors... have the vendor mount the tires and sensors, then all you have to do is put them on and run the relearn tire pressure sensor procedure.

Thanks everyone. My budget is fluid. Between 1200-2000 bucks. I'd prefer chrome z06 wheels nut most vendors sell wheels only. I have access to a tire machine and spin balancer but it's just easier to bolt them up already mounted and balanced. I will definitely get sensore. As to tirerack-checked there first. No good wheel options. I'll check out element. I've had 2 camaros, a mustang gt and an impala SS and it seems the wheel market for C5s is much thinner

I've bought two sets of wheels, with tires mounted and balanced from him, and have nothing but positive things to say about them.

You might want to try http://www.oewheelsllc.com/ since you are wanting OE style wheels. I just bought a set of C6 style wheels (they also sell tires and sensors) from them that were made in the C5 sizes so I am still running 17/18 in stock sizes which are usually at least $150 a set cheaper than 18/19 combos.
