If you have the RS kit, chrome C6's. Reg. Z (non-body kit) get chrome Z06's.

To original poster: what do you like (chrome, black, 17's, 19's, etc.)? What's your budget?
Common inexpensive f-body wheels are:
Z06's (available in chrome, polished, gunmetal, and black)
ZR-1's (available in chrome, black chrome, polished, silver, gunmetal, and black)
Torq Thrust II's (available in polished and painted grey)
Will run you around $900 to $1500 with tires.
Common high end f-body wheels are:
CCW 505a's
Fikse FM-5's, FM-10's
iForged aero's
Intro GT's
HP Evo's
Will run you around $2400 to $4000 without tires.
Hope that helps man. You can search any of these wheels for pics.

go to the wheel/tire section and do the search for just about any wheel on an fbody and you can find something you like.

I bought some ZR1 (17" SS Wheels) from OEM Wheels in Florida off of Ebay for a pretty good price. Only downside with the copy wheels is they tend to be heavy, especially the Z06 copies.

if i had a black or silver/pewter car, i would have wheels w/ a black center and polished lip, no doubt. check out crager's SS! its pewter on fikse FM5's w/ black anodized centers, look outrageous!
fikse FM5's are my favorite wheel, followed by torq-thrust II's (have 'em on my car). if you ever decide you want some TTII's, i can getcha a nice price on them, shoot me a PM.
go to advanced search, type in somthing like ( pics wheels black polished lip etc. ), then select wheels and tires (if you want to refine it) and search. tons of pictures can be found.

I'm with this guy all the way. If however you don't like those options, then the Torque Thrust II's are always a nice option too. If however you can find something else that looks bad ***, I think you would be doing the F-body world a big favor.
Congrats on the new ride BTW!
