Default new member with wheel problem

Hello fellow ZR1 owner just bought a 1990 Z. Looking for info on wheels for it. Has 1992 wheels now that have been painted black for some ungodly reason. New tires so I hate to have to change the size of rims. Any suggestions, would love to get 2009 ZR1 sytle rims in 17 inch but have been all over the internet and local stores and can't find any rims that will fit.

Your current wheels can be refinished for roughly $150/wheel.

You can find plenty of 2009 ZR1 replica wheels online.
Google is your friend.
Trouble is you won't find them in a 17" or 18" with the right offsets for your '90.

Your choices are fairly limited, OEM wheels, C5 wheels with funky spacers, or special made aftermarket wheels with the correct offsets(Big$$$).

You can get some 17" CCW classics with the correct offsets that has the "honeycomb" look but they will run you about $2500.
