Default 17" wheel options/prices/opinions

So I have read through the first 12 or so pages of the search and just thought compiling all of this into one thread might be easier. I am looking for some 17" preferably chrome (polished may be ok) wheels for the SS. I know ZR1's are really popular, and chrome 10 spokes are harder to find, and I know lots of people run TT2's, ZO6's C5 and C6 etc.... but what else are there? I want to keep at least stock width, but 10 or 11 out back would be great, but not necessary. I am not looking to spend a fortune, and am leaning toward some AR Rebels right now if that helps you understand my price range. Just looking for some opinions and hopefully a wheel that I may have overlooked. Thanks

The hyper silver ones you posted have been discontinued

The only available finishes for our cars are gunmetal and gold

There is a member on the board who had them painted black. Looks really good. I was gonna do that up until I found another wheel to go with.

the 17in AR Rebels dont come in the correct offset for the F-Body. People use them but they have to clearance their inner fender wells

.....I hadn't ever heard that, how expensive is that to get done? I like those other wheels that were posted, maybe I should check around for some silver ones.

ok with the rebels the 17's only come in a 25mm offset. That makes the wheels poke out a lil past the fender. Its really not that much but some are picky. People who have used the AR Rebels have had to bang out small areas where the tires rub. Some cars u have to do it on other fit fine.
