your never going to find 17's or 18's new resonablly priced, they are very expensive, and getting the classic muscle car wheels in the larger size are very expensive and just dont look right that way, if you want that style stick with a 15" or otherwise go with a diffrent style rim

i agree with TempesT68. it is very hard to find a good deal on 17's or 18 inch wheels or unless you know someone in the wheel business. they will be very expensive and dont forget that you will have to buy tires. they will be very expensive too. i would say a total wheel and tire package for 17's or 18's would be around 2000 bucks, maybe more. i would stick with with your stockers since you said that you like them, and the tires will be cheaper too.

There are a lot of wheels out there it just depends on your price range and taste. The wheels I want the total for everything wheels, tires, and spacers is going to run me 1500. Thats for 17x9 fronts and 17x11 rear ZR1s with tires and spacers from www.skulte.com.

In general wheels are more expensive for our cars though. I just priced out 17s for my girlfriends car and I can get nice wheels with tires for 600.

I love the posted phrases like "my price range" and "reasonably priced"....unless you provide paycheck stubs, it's hard to provide any real help.

My Bro had those. Nice rims... He cracked one at a curb near a 7-11 but they were cool while they lasted.
