Default (c6)427 grand sport wheels on a 1999 camaro

So i am looking at installing the wheels off of the new 427 grand sport on my 4th gen Camaro, however i need some pointers as to what companies create the highest quality product(besides OEM since i am on a budget) and who actually carries these wheels at the moment since they are fairly new.
Also what sizes i should install on my car to not deal with rubbing issues. My original idea was to go 275x18(18x9.5) in the front 295x19s(19x10) in the rear. I do have eibach sportlines installed on my car at the moment so keep that factored in.
Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated.
Also if anyone has pics id appreciate those too since i personally have never seen this combo on a 4th gen.
Thank you in advance.

Only issue with the 19x10's have a 79mm offset. That will need a heft spacer. The 18x9.5 come in 40mm which is great. That lines up real nice with the fender.

I meant the 427 cup wheels. From the new convertible, there like a split ten spoke similar to the spiders but with a curve at the ends

I dont believe there is an aftermarket version of that wheel yet, and I don't think there will be with the C7 being right around the corner.

i just dont see that wheel looking good on a 4th gen. Especially if you have to get it in a smaller size that what they are on the vette

I am not usually a fan of newer wheels on older cars. There are plenty of options that look great and are period-correct that won't look goofy and out-of place on the car in 10-20 years.

For example, I personally hate looking at a car from 1969 that you can tell was re-done/"modernized" in 1985. You lose the identity of the car that way, IMO.

Can't go wrong with some 17" wheels.

Those are the "Centennial wheels". Google that, you will get much better results.

I like them on the car they are intended for, I'll have to see them on a 4th gen to agree with you.

(c6)427 grand sport wheels on a 1999 camaro-427s.jpg
Made this quick photoshop of them(look like 19s instead of 18s but whatever lol) and shrunk it so i could upload it to the site, didn't think they looked too bad. However i did go the safe route and order me some comp grey zr1s instead. Credit to Camaro Z for his car pictured as we have a similar stance.
