Default any nice looking wheels out there?
Looking to buy some rims for my 02 SS.
I have the c4 zr1's right now but I don't like them. the price of ccw's and fikse is ridiculous. any badass rims out there that don't cost a left nut and an arm?? what do you guys suggest??

Just some nice looking wheels. No stock rims of course. Budget wise anywhere from 800-1500 bucks.

Go with some Forgestars, 18s run about $1450 and 17s (CF5 only) run about $1250 or so

edit: expect some what lengthy turn around as they are custom made
