Default I want new wheels!

I just got my TTII's about 3 weeks ago and I'm wanting new wheels already!!

I'm thinking going with black or the greyish colored ZR1's or black/chrome ZO6's.
With my TTII's I bought 315 Goodyear GSD3's and I don't want to get rid of those so will they only fit on the ZR1's? Also, do they make a ZO6 wheel in 17x10.5, I though I saw that awhile ago.
So, for my Silver WS6 (soon to have charcoal blackbird stripes and painted rear valance) would you go with chrome ZR1's or ZO6's, or black ZR1's or ZO6's? Or is there another wheel, thats affordable, that I can put my 315/35/17's on?
Thanks

0 points for originality.

There are SO many nice wheels out there, go with something less played out.

Like what? I don't have money and want something good looking. Also, if I like the wheels, what the hell does it matter if they are so common. Don't just tell me to get wheels with no suggestions. I

I can't believe your ditching TTII's for some ZR1's or Z06's. I mean there's nothing wrong with those (I've had both), but changing from a wheel like a TTII to a O.E. wheel seems strange to me. Just my .02
