Default Wheels for drag radials

Im going to be adding a blower kit soon and want to get some rear wheels with 315 m/t drag radials. My question is what is a set of wheels that look kinda similar to the gloss black z51 wheels that clear thwebrakes? Id be fine with c5z replicas if the sell all gloss black with no chrome lip. I want 18s, I dont know what offset I need to clear the brakes. Any advice is welcome! I dont want to get an expensive wheel.

Black C5 Z06 wheels in a 18" will work prefect. I've seen some without the polished/chrome lip.

if you like your wheels to stick out of your fenders they are awesome.
