Just browse through the various wheel threads and see which style you like then determine whether that wheel comes in the sizes you want. Some of the more expensive wheels may not be available in a 17/18 size. Plus you need to take into consideration the offset on the wheels to ensure they fit properly in the wheel wells.
There are a number of forum vendors that sell wheels. You can also check in the Wheels and Tires section here on the forum for some ideas.

If you've got to ask...maybe you should stick to the factory wheels. They really do look good.
The original wheels were silver painted "Wagon Wheels" on the early models, silver painted 5 spokes on the later models and somewhere in the middle were the 5 spoke genuine "mag" wheels in "desert sand" beige. Both wagon wheels and 5 spokes were sometimes chromed by dealers or customers but never by the factory. There are also "knockoffs" of the 5 spokes by outside suppliers. No one ever 'knocked off' the wagon wheels.
The Z06's got a slightly wider wheel in their own "diamond" lightweight pattern. They look great but the tire size is unique and availability is becoming limited.
If you stick to these you know they'll fit and look good. (even the wagon wheels)
