Hi Mike,
at the moment we have some production problems our head office in Germany stop production on the aftermarket division for 6-8 months to fulfill the delivery commitments with the original equipment.
At the moment we do not have any wheels to offer you,
Thank you,

Re: What wheels?
Opinion based on technical info:
Check out ls1tech.com's wheel section. It has listed weights on certain rims. With weight in mind, you may want to stay away from c5/c6 motorsport rims, 18" or bigger rims (unless you have c6 zo6 brakes), and ronal r-15's. If you are willing to sacrifice a little performance for looks, then don't worry about weight.
Chrome can flake or do other weird stuff. Polished needs to be polished. Painted, just wash it. I like painted or painted with a polished lip.
Torque Thrust M's(if they are still available) and ZR1's are my favorite. They are supposed to have a decent weight and decent cost. And they available in more than chrome. Also, TTM's are in 17x9 and 17x10.5, zr1's in 17x9.5 and 17x11.

Re: What wheels?
Those look a lot better then what I thought they would. I wonder what they would look like in chrome though. And I probably wouldn't go w/ the Motorsports, because i'm not a big fan of the rivets, so i would probably just go w/ the replicas! If anyone has chrome C6 Z06 on their third gen, I would love to see. Also, keep the suggestions coming guys, I love to see other peoples opinions. I know there are a whole lot of other guys on this site that don't have stock wheels.
