You could get some polished 2 peice forged Boyd Coddingtons for around $1,400. They have a wide selection of wheels that are unique. I got the 'Tuned' wheels in sizes 17x9.5/17x11 and love them. I used to have Z06 wheels, but wanted something that everyone didnt have.

true, it seems that everyone has z06 wheels. black z06 wheels with a polished lip and rivets always look good on pewter, i have considered doing this but it seems everyone has them. chrome z06 wheels with rivets look good also.
i am trying to remember i seen a wheel someone had on here a while back, it had a funny name.....

I got them from one of our sponsers, Pro Dyno. They were $1380 shipped to my door for the 17x9.5/17x11 combo.

They look nice on Camaro's too:
