Check out JEGS or Summit. They both have a series of wheels for pretty cheap. I got a set of 15x8's for about $100 each. They are heavier than a good racing wheel but they are a good cheap alternative.

I picked up a set of Centerline Convo Pros, already had rubber on them 165 Metric Tire up front, and M/T ET Street Radials 275/50-15.
The Rims 15 x 4 and 15 x 8 + rubber, 2 sets of lugs, mounted and had good life left on them, I paid 500$
The whole setup new is about 1300-1400 if you buy out of jegs and summit, and thats + shipping. Lighter then stock, not the lightest but very sturdy for the street.

I have a pair of c5 z06's already in the garage that I am not using...The catch is, one is
8.5"'s wide and the other is 9.5 " wide.. Would it be dumb to throw on some 275/40/17
mickey thompson streets e.t's on both wheels?

First I would look for some used ones, most of the time you can find them from this site. But I have race star industry wheels and love them. They are pretty light and will bolt right up, no grinding needed. They were a little cheaper than pro stars, and you have to grind and/or use spacers with pro stars. They look just like the greg welds.
