18x9.5 Wheel Suggestions

I'm looking to get a nice set of wheels here soon to get some good rubber for a nice street/auto-x car.

I'm going to be installing a c6 Z51 front brake upgrade as well.
I don't want to run adapters or even spacers if I can avoid it.

I was looking to just go with the Forgestar F14 but it seems like the front hub cap interferes with the center cap. Anyone have experience on this portion?

I don't want to go over 1500 if I can avoid it since I still need to buy some Koni's etc.

Otherwise if anyone has some CTW Motorsport wheels they could sell me that would also work lol

Re: 18x9.5 Wheel Suggestions

Really figured I would get some ideas on this but here is one I found. I couldn't find any pics for a 3rd gen but the specs line up. Anyone use these or have pics?

The G body guys make The GTA/GNX/TRANS AM PW7 wheels in that size that are really nice.

Re: 18x9.5 Wheel Suggestions

https://www.wheelsforless.com/U12118956152 This is about the same as the VN507 (seems like the center cap is bigger for the hub but I also found one pic of the VN507 on a 3rd gen Camaro. This also even comes up as a "fit" on their site.

I'm pretty sure I'll be going with one of these at this point since I'll be able to run a square setup with room for big front brakes. The price is also very solid.
