New Wheels

Hi i need to buy some new wheels for my 94 Camaro v6, i was wondering if someone could tell me the measurments that i need to look at when looking for new rims, sizes, offsets etc, also im on a pretty tight budget so i was wondering if there are any rims that look good and are at a decent price, i was looking at 077 Eagle Alloys but they seem to be pretty common, is there anything else? Thanks for the help !

stock bolt pattern is 4.75, stock backspaceing on the rear wheels of a 4th gen is....Daniel on a 3rd gen its 4.5 i think on 4th gens its like 6.5 but i could be mistaken. Front wheels i have no idea (bolt patterns the same tho) but backspacing you got me.

Bolt Pattern: 5X4.75(120)
Offset: +45 (5.95) (or right around there, I can't remember exactly)

Replica Vette wheels are probably some of the cheapest proiced wheels you can get, starting around $350ish for a set on eBay. There are lots of different versions, but as everybody said, they are a tad overdone. But if you really wanted, I'd say of all the Vette wheels, C5s machined, with black looks the best. There are some other choices on eBay, its a good place to look.
