Ebay usually has some good rims at decent prices. Size, I would say 17" or 18" wheels would look nice. Color, with the black car I would probably get some chrome wheels, or some black wheels with a polished/machined lip. Style, I don't much care for anything but 5 spoke or 10 spoke wheels. What wheel you actually get is up to you though. Go to www.discounttire.com or www.tirerack.com
Both of those sites have a program where you can see what the wheels should look like on your car.

you wont find either the c6 or new z06 rims for under 600. Unless you come across a miracle, which is always possible. The c5 rims will be your best for cheaper vette rims. I'd go for the y2k chrome rims. 18 back and 17 front would be possible for under 300 for the rims

you can get C6 chrome vette rim for a little over 600 but that is no tires the most common size for them is 17x9.5 or 18x10.5. Either one would be plenty big and fit under your car.
