What is your budget? What type of wheel do you like? What size wheels are you looking for? There are plenty of wheels available for your car, first decide what you like and how much you are going to spend .hen check out the cars on this forum for some ideas!

So your basically looking for something similiar in size to your stock WS6 wheels. Something like a 17x9 or 17x9.5 will fit those perfectly if your looking to go 275s all around. Theres plenty of wheels though that are black in that size I dont know how much we can help. Search the forum look at other pewter WS6s.

There should be alot of vette wheels you can get in 17x9.5 all around. Try OEwheelsllc.com. Im also a fan of Fikse FM5's with a black center and polished lip but their expensive even though you said you didnt care about price. Both companies are sponsors here and you can find them over here ---->

I have American racing torque thrust 2's in 17x9.5 all the way around with 275s. You could paint the centers black an run that if you liked.
