Need to know:
-Price range
-What you do with the car
-Do you like chrome
-Do you want big diameter wheels
-Do you want really wide wheels
-Is it for function or for looks

My suggestion: Look around at other members' cars until you find something you like

I looove the hp evos...I can't find them though. Great deals however with motorsports c5 z06s' right now, nice polished lip(if you get black), but they have rivets which are hit or miss in the looks dept.

figure these out:

-price range?
-style you like? (racing-esque, corvette rims, mesh, etc.)
-diameter? 17, 18, 19
-color (chrome, black, polished, etc)

Personally, I LOVE the SS 10 spokes (I have them on my T/A). You probably don't want to try going much wider than 9" in the front of a Camaro, and 275 is plenty of meat for the fronts.

If you are at all like me, and like the wheels you have, consider having the rears widened to 11". There are dozens if not hundreds of shops across the country that will do it for you.

Just something to consider.
