Default Best Place for 18" Y2Ks?

Could someone post a link to the cheapest place to buy Y2Ks? Actually, I don't even know what Y2Ks are; are they year 2000 C5 rims?

From Blktie8's e-mail, I gathered that they are indeed 2000 C5 Corvette wheels, which come in either polished or chrome finish. From prices on the Internet, chrome seems to be the high gloss, mirror shiny finish that I like.

However, on one site, it wanted to know what offset I needed (www.performanceplustire.com).

Some questions:

Q. #1: Are all '93-'02 F-Bodies the same as far as the bolt pattern/offset/size of rims needed?
Q. #2: If I were to get these wheels for my '94 Z28, could I transfer them to a '98-'02 Firebird?
Q. #3: For everyday driving in a variety of road conditions, are 18" rims too large for the front?
Q. #4: Is $892.00/$979.24 shipped a good price for these wheels?
Q. #5: Are there any pictures of a white '93-'97 Camaro (non-convertable) in 17" and/or 18" Y2Ks out there?

Thanks.

bluestreak98, What size are the rims that you went with? Are they 17x9 or 18x9.5? Do you have any rubbing issues with those?
