Default Wheels for my SS (opinions)

I'm itching to get a new set of wheels. I really don't want to drop a ton of cash. I like mesh style wheels like the rpm 505's but they just are not wide enough for me. I would like to stay with the black. I was thinking either black TTM's, black deep dish zr1's, black deep dish y2k's. Any other opinions on wheels?

I think all of those options would look nice, its a matter of your opinion and what you want for your car, your the one that drives it! That said, i don't think you can go wrong with the different wheels you are looking at.

I like the deep dish zr1's, but I think i want a different style wheel. I want something with a lip.

You have any pics of the black deep dish c5 y2k's?

I would go with the deep dish y2k thats what I'm trying to get too.I love my wheels but I just cant afford another set b/c something fell on the paint and it is peeling off all the clear coat and I want wider tires on the back too.This wheels I have are the Tork Imagine wheels 18x9 back 3inch lip and 18x8 front.

I'm having thoughts of getting the deep dish black zr1's and getting the lips paint matched to my car. I think it would look pretty good. photoshop anyone?

any ideas on how much that would cost?

Well if you decide to go with the c5 deep dish from oe wheels they have the package 18x10.5 back 17x9.5 front with 295 tire back and 265 front would be looking at about 1300-1500.Are you going to be selling those black zr1's?

Yes, If i get new wheels I'll be selling the black zr1's. I'm also really leaning towards getting some black TTM's, but no one has them in stock.
