You could go with some HRE wheels but they are really pricey but they are some great looking wheels!!!

Another option is to go to ebay. Do a search for AFS Corvette Wheels. They sell 11x17's cheap, that is, if you like ZR1 wheels.

www.budnik.com has some wheels, and so does www.Iforged.com. Iforged wheels are nice, but really expensive. Budnik wheels are cheaper but still pricey.

Don't forget the REALLY nice ones like Fikse and Simmons. A nice of 17X11 rear set of Fikse FM5 or FM10's can't be beat on looks IMO.

I know.... I would LOVE a set of those, but $2400 for a set (give or take) is quite a bit.

I know you guys warned me about being costly but...DAMN. I just can't do $3000 for a set of wheels but they are nice!! The ZR1 wheels now look MUCH better.

From what I remember the GS off set is different than the ZR1 wheels...I'm not sure whether that off set will fit and F Body.

Haha...I think that's how most f-body guys end up with the ZR-1's

the Torq Thrust II's are nice but Polished aluminum is a pain in the A double S to keep clean.
