Default Need ideas!! I want to buy new wheels!! Have about 2k to spend

I'm lookin for new wheels for my Sebring Silver 2000 SS....I want to get wheels that are unique and atleast a 10.5" rim out back... I dont want to get the usual wheels, such as, C6Zs, C5s, ZR1s, etc....I've been searching for a few days but can't come up with any good options. I have about 2k to spend on wheels and tires...please share some ideas, thanks

Take a look at Centerlinewheels.com. That's where I plan on going when I'm ready to step up to 17s or 18s on my track car. Custom backspace + a lot of different designs + made in US + light weight.

Maybe think a little outside of the box? Look at BMW/GTO wheels. They will have a 5x120 bolt pattern, which is close to ours, but like .45 off... If you look around, these style of wheels are starting to catch on a little bit. I think people are just tired of seeing the same ol wheels.

Just an idea.

Oh and make sure the offsets are right. Some BMW wheels will be less than a 20mm offset, which may work in exteme conditions... but isnt optimal.

I run a BMW/GTO style wheel and I love it. They are only 18x8 all the way around, but they are so inexpensive that widening the rears would still make them very reasonable.. price wise.

I originally had them on my GTO, but have moved them onto my Camaro(this was before the Camaro was "done")
