    I now own 5 sets of z06 wheels.

    Spacer + relatively cheap OEM wheels are the way to go. You WILL eventually be chucking a wheel every once a while from curb/contact damage.

    I got lucky in that a buddy of mine was building a track/open road race 4th gen and wanted 18" Z06 wheels, so him and I tag teamed craigslist for the better part of a year and started splitting sets of c5 z06 wheels as they popped up around Texas.

    At an average of $425/set, my collection of 5 sets is less than two sets of new fancy wheels.
