Cool Need new wheels

I am getting a 2002 Camaro SS at the end of the month. pics
It has 398 hp to the rear wheels and it is a M6. I need some new wheels and tires to keep all of that power on the ground. The guy who is selling it said his front tires have 3 months on them, so if I can keep them, that would be nice. The tires fit 17x9.5 stock ss wheels.

I looked on ebay and found this package.

Are there any other options besides z06 wheels to fit my needs? I love the way they look so I am really considering them. If there are any other wheels though that you can suggest that would be nice. I am trying to keep the budget for wheels under $1500.

Also, what tires could I use in the back to keep that 400 HP down on the ground?

If you dead-hook with 400HP you can say bye-bye to your ten bolt.

I personally am not a fan of the ZO6 wheels, i much more prefer the ZR1's.

If you want sticky tires for everyday driving the Nitto 555r's have worked well for me.

Looks like a really nice car!

18's > 17's

So get the 18 x 10.5 Z06's on all 4

The offset is also better.
