Well after an unfortunate encounter with my stock salad shooters and a curb, it looks like I'm in the market for some new rims. I've pretty much decided on some chrome Z06 rims (probably replica, but that'll come in later) and I have a few questions, because wheels confuse the hell out of me. I have a '95 Camaro V6, I don't know if that would change anything, but thought I'd get that out there. My questions are:

What would be better, and the pros and cons of each, between replica and OEM wheels?
What size would you recommend to a car that'll get atleast a 1" drop soon, I like the looks of 17", but 18" looks awfully nice too. How big can I go? Would 9.5 be alright?
What is the offset that I would need for my car, and anything else I would need to make it fit right?
What tires would you guys suggest, somewhat low budget since I don't really need tires rated at 800 miles an hour, since my speed is limited at 115. I just want a decent tire that'll get me good traction.

Also, can you guys let me know anything I might be forgetting that I would need to know for a wheel/tire purchase? Like extra items I'd need to get it working, etc. Thanks in advance.
