Wheel recommendations

Just bought a 2002 Z28, I'm thinking about changing the rims out to a deeper lip. What site do you all recommend or rim brand preferred? Need some guidance here plz

Consider if you have, or want a big brake setup in the future, that a deep dish type wheel can severely limit your options for the space behind the spokes.

Oe wheels has good wheel and tire packages, but the chrome isn't the best quality.

Yea, their chrome is terrible. The chrome in the barrels of my ZR1 reps was flaking off like glitter and pitting was slowly migrating to the face of the wheels. I contacted them and they wanted pictures which I gladly sent. They left me hanging. For a car that gets washed more than it moves that is sad a wheel fails that quick. If you go with them be aware the chrome will probably be laying on the floor of your garage in due time. I sold off those turds and went Billet Specialties Street Lites. Dont regret it a bit!
