You're usually better off buying curbed stock wheels. I was picking up Z06 fronts for $400/set a few years ago and I've bought factory Camaro SS wheels for $150-300/set.

They're usually lighter and stronger then aftermarket stuff. When they're cheaper too, it's a no-brainer.

+1 for corvetteforum. I've been raping them lately for all the 17x9.5 Z06 wheels I could get. Post a WTB message in the road racing forum. You'll get a better response than the classifieds.
I'm averaging $100-$125 per wheel. Make sure to ask for pics of the inside GM stampings to ensure OEM.
