The 15x10 Racestars are on ebay for 210 a piece with free ship in the 7.5 backspace. The same seller has skinnies and 10's with 20 lugs, centric rings, and valve stems for 804 bucks to your door.

In my opinion, the best looking rims are the C5Z06's that are black with a machined face, just like the 35th LE's. VERY rare, but I've seen a few pics floating around.

I like the ZR1s, and I like that I can get them new with tires for 1k. I want the black ones for my car.

Anything that didnt come from a Corvette is a plus.

My favorite wheels for F bodies are the Torque Thrust Ms. They look better than the TT2s and the rounded design fits the very round f body design.

Black c6z wheels would probably look killer on a white SS. At first I didn't like them but they grew on me.

^THIS! Black with machined or chrome lip on a white Camaro... best you'll get for a grand or less (although Fikse's are so badass they will steal your lunch money).
