Default Can anybody please recommend some new wheels?

I'm tired of the C5 Z06 rims. Yes, they're nice, but i want something new. Here are a few pics of my car. Please recommend something. Also, i would prefer if they were 18's, and keep in mind i'm about to paint my brake calipers red.

All those wheels look like they belong on a 300. The Americana isn't that bad.

couldn't agree more. Since you have the money to spend, you have a lot of choices for high quality wheels! There's plenty of Fikses, CCW, Iforged, etc. that will look badass!

here's a couple shots of some car that we've put some rushforth wheels on, there aren't that many cars out there that have schott wheels on them yet
