I need new wheels...

I have a set of Silver ZR1 wheels that are kind of scratched up and it's about time for new tires as well, so I'm going wheel hunting...any suggestions as to what kind of wheel or a good place to buy from?

Ya know, i really dont like the look of the 17x11's at all. unless you really need that much meat (haha) i dont see tha point....they just look akward. I love the 17x9 ws6 or the 17x9.5 zr1's. I found a set of ws6 chrome in really god condition for 200. Tirerack has 275/40/zr17's for 418 for 4.

Seriously? Maybe it's because I have a Pontiac and the rear fenders are a little wider, but I LOVED the way my Hawk looked with 17x11 Zr1s (+36) on it.

I have a trans am too actually. Chect it out in my garage. I just dont like how they look i guess they just look out of place to me. I know most think otherwise though. I like a very simple balanced look. Also dont you get hella understeer with those?

Here is a pic of my 94 T/A with C5 Z06 rims. 17x9.5 on the fronts, and 18x10.5 on the rear. I have 275/40-17 tires front and 285/40-18 on the rears. Sorry do not have closer pic, but I like the look
