looking for wheels

Anyone know of any good wheel sites? I have a 91 Camaro, soon to have Eibach 1" drop springs, It's Metallic Orange with Metallic black flames (pic in spring probably) and I have a set of 275/40/17's for it...Black or Gunmetal gray rims would be prefered. I also want to road/autocross the car so I need rims that will hold up yet not be outragous in price. Thanks.

Hey whats goin on man

Performance Wheel Outlet

They carry some nice stuff for our cars, but they are all polished or chrome. If you want black wheels, ZR1 wheels would look nice...but you will need wheel spacers to use them. I'm sure some other people out there have some good ideas also.

hey man Thanks, I'll just buy some plain wheels and strip them and have Matt paint them. So any good wheel sites will do I guess.

ok, I found a set of 17x9's. From bead to bead on the tires I have measures 9.5". If I put these tires on rims like this would I have too much sidewall deflection for autocross/road course? I never really got into the tire aspect of cars but I know it's a very important factor.
