Default AFS sux need alternatives?

Hi guy's,
I have been on a waiting list for (2) 17x11 inch ZR1 style wheels since Feburary.Yes that's right 6 months I've been waiting.I called to check on the status yesturday and the woman said it's going to be awhile and to go ahead and get them somewere else.They are changing there molds to another manafacturer or something and they have to be tested.

I currently have the SS wheels and need some 11"ers for the rear to mount my 315 Nitto's that have been sitting in my basement since March.
What do you guy's recommend?Should I get some GM Grandsport wheels and have them painted silver?

Sorry had to vent
Thanks
John

Hey I waited 7 months for my new car. If you really want it, it is well worth the wait.

Xsta Z 28,
These are 2 wheels I'm waiting for not a nice new LS1. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> My car needs a sticker and needs the tires put on.These wheels were surposed to be my Christams present from my girlfriend last year.

Anybody know the GM part# for the Grandsport wheels.

He has them listed on his site as 56mm for some reason but they are in fact 50mm. I know because mine just came in a couple of weeks ago and they clearly state 50mm on the side of the box <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
