Just put chrome '02 Vette wheels and tires on mine. 95 convert. polo green and looks incredible.

You can bolt on the vette wheeles (17" front an 18" rears with only some hammering of the rear metal. As posted here before, make sure your rear seats are in their "upright and locked position" before beating on the rub spots.

Got lots of compliments on the '02 chrome vette wheeles paid ($1100 for wheeles and tires with about 2000-3000 miles of wear)

In 97 the SS came with 17" ZR1 "painted" wheels. I wanted the ZR1 Chrome, so I ordered them when they became available for the 98 SS.

I really believe that Chrome ZR1s look very clean and go well with the F-Body.JMHO.

I went with the American Racing Torque Thrust II's. I'm very happy with them and have received positive comments about them. You can see them at Americanracing.com

I work for a GM dealer and GM won't sell us ZO6 rims without proof that a car is down with damaged rims. Seems they don't want them put on Camaros, so it must be a good idea.

I think it all depends on the car.

I love my Voxx Argus rims, pics in the sig.
