      deep dish z06 wheels?

      Hey guys, I'm trying to find a set of 17" or larger rims that are as cheap as possible for my 77 camaro. I've looked alot and came to a few conclusions. First the soft 8 wheels are cool but are steel and im afraid would hurt performance too much with the extra rotating mass. The weld torqlites/greg weld wheels would be perfect, i love how they look but they only come in a max width of 8", so evenutally i'd have to get them custom widened which is $$$. I've looked into BMW wheels and really like the M Parallel wheels,

      and they come in workable 13mm and 25mm offsets, and for around $600. Then I ran across these, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-Fi...7621QQtcZphoto
      I guess they're a custom wheel contracted for them? They look cool to me, price is right, and I'd definatley put them on my car. They're 50mm offset, so i'd need spacers, at least an extra $200. And im not sure if I could squeeze in a 17"x9.5" wheel up front, but they sure look nice!!! But I've read some negative reviews about the distributer OE wheels. Things like bad cust service, wrong wheels sent, unwillingness to help, etc. Plus I've never seen or read anything about these dished Z06 wheels, I dunno how the quality might be, it might be the first line wheels. What do you guys think? Can anyone shed some light it these? BTW they have a staggered c5 set too, those look cool too. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-18...9019QQtcZphoto
