Default C7 so hard to find wheels for

Ok I did something really dumb. ( nothing new with me haha ). I bought a set of wheels and tires that I dont like. In the meantime I sold my stock black z51 wheels and tires for $1000 for the tires rims and sensors. Then realized they are worth more later on. In any event I cant seem to find any wheels with high offsets needs for the C7. I would like to purchase a set of rims that have a nice fitment in black. Does anyone have any suggestions. I might just have to buy stocks again. I do like the traction of the 325 wide tire i have now but Im not happy with the style of wheel. Picture of the wheels i have now below.

If I traded they would have to be for black z51 wheels. Thats what my car came with. I might just buy a set from someone and them get tires and sensors locally.

Just curious, what is the model, wheel and tire sizes and offsets? I like those!

The wheels do not rub at all. I can take the buyer for a ride before removing them. If needed maybe even a video if the buyer is not local - Mike

What front tire size are you running? I was considering doing a 20 in the front as well.
