CCW 505a and SP500s would look awesome, but they're over 2k (sadly).

I'd think some black Fikse FM5s or Profil 5Ss would look nice w/ the white and black (assuming you still have the black grille), but I think those too are over 2k.

I dont care for any of the motorsport rims, HREs or iForged that have exposed rivets. I'd rather get regular Z06s instead of the motorsport versions. But thats just me.

Altho Im sure they're fixin to become common, not too many people have the C6 or C6 Z06 rims. But I'd assume you're wanting to go aftermarket not OEM. If thats the case...I'd just cruise Budnik, Intro or Boyd and see what they've got for ~2k. IMO stick w/ a clean 5 spoke, or split 5 spoke w/ a slight lip in the back and it'll look hot.

I'd say leave the ones you've got on right now (if they're the ones in the sig, I like 'em better than ZO6's), and save up for the ones you really want, especially since you've already got a $2k start.

While not my choice, if thats what you want you should be within your 2k limit w/o tires. Z06 Motorsports are around the ~$1400/set mark, even in black. I think they come in 17 x 8.5/9.5, 18 x 9.5/10.5, 19 x 9.5 (140 more) 19 x 11 (150 more) and 20 x 11 (200 more, but least the website Im lookin @ is showing those sizes and prices. I dunno the offset but it says they fit all C5s, even tho you've got an F-car I dunno if they'll be a direct fit).

I agree CCW Classics would be nice. You should be able to get a set right around 2k.
