Rims for Alero, Cutlass, Malibu, some Caddy, anything with 5x115 rims. 5x114.3 works kinda, there's mixed results cuz it's made for hubcentric setups whereas we have a lug-centric setup.

No ZO6 wheels will not work.

Most FWD cars will have a negitive off set, as where most RWD will have a positive offset. Not to mention a Corvette will have a 5x4.75" bolt pattern (or 5x120 metric) where a post '99 GA has a 5x115 bolt pattern.

One of my favorite GM wheels that woul dlook good on a GA are the 17" SSEi wheels with the twisted 6 spokes. Only thing is you need a 25mm spacer to get them to work.

I like the Bonneville straight wheels, not sure if they were 17s or 18s, but they were chrome, straight, and beautiful for stock.

You got that backwards ... Most FWD and RWD cars come with mid to high positive offsets. RWD trucks/SUVs tends to be low positive, although a lot are starting to creep into the high positive arena. Negative offsets are almost reserved for customs, lifted 4wds, etc. nowadays.

The right Vette wheel might work on the Grand Am because the offsets on those are mid-50 to 60mm. You'll have to run a lug changing spacer, and those tend to be at least 30mm thick. Once its all bolted up, the package will stick out around half an inch. That can cause trouble on turns.
