I don't know if any 19 inch Y2K look alikes. You could try CCW (www.ccwheel.com). They make mid priced wheel packages that are in the $2000 range.

That'd be a negative on the 19's. Your only bet in the Y2K style is an 18x10.5 rear and swapping the old rears to the front.

www.vettewheel.com shows HRE 547's and 540's starting at $3750.00 a set.
I am not sure what "starting" refers to, although I am sure going to the 18" bumps the price some.

19 in wheels from HRE are around 1200 each, then there are options like polishing and coating which can quickly get the price up to 1500 a wheel, then there is shipping most people here that have purchased HRE's with sensors and Tires mounting and shipping are in the 7 to 8000 range..

The new CCW wheel is probably the closest to what you're looking for. I think they are $2500 for a set. Here's a link to thread with a pic. They were not listed on the CCW wesite the last time I looked.

New CCW SP500

Also, the HRE 845R looks very, very similar to the Y2K but is way above the $4000 range.
