Default Which wheels for my 97 Z28?

Well I've wanted a set of ruff 278s for quite some time now but I'm wondering if they're ever going to come off of back-order because I've already waited roughly 5 months. Basically now I am wondering what other good looking wheels are out there that arent super common. No offense meant to anybody, but I have no interest in any kind of vette wheel. TTIIs or TTMs may however be a consideration despite how common they are. As a side note if anybody has some black 18" Ruff 278s they want to sell I'm interested! Also the R281s look interesting but I'm not sure how they would look on my car. Anyway, here's my basic criteria:
  • Looks badass (of course)
  • Prefferably a deep dish rim, at least in the back.
  • Isn't overly common on 4th gens.
  • Most interested in black wheels with a chrome/polished lip but will consider any finish.
  • 18" diameter and at least 9.5" wide for the back. If I have to run an 8.5 on the front because of offset resons or something thats ok
  • Must fit without using a spacer
  • And again, NO VETTE WHEELS. I really don't mean to offend anybody with that.

HP racing evo's.i thing a mesh wheel with a lip looks sick on f-bodys.or a ccw classic but they look kinda alike.

Those and the 281s are both looking pretty attractive right now I'm still open for more ideas if anybody has any though.
