19" wheels on SS?

Im sure this has been discussed, but what wheel company makes a set of 19" wheels that will fit a stock SS? I'm really wanting to go to an 18" but can't see it working out without changing calipers. I really like the TSW Nurembergrings, But I see them mostly in 20".

Also have been told that 19" tires are more expensive than 20". Needing new tires but I want to change the wheels out now.

Here is a member running 19x9.5 on each corner. They are Forgestar F14s.
Also, lots of guys are running 18" (Nurburgrings and Forgestars). You have to cut off the rollerskates if you have a 11/12 model. I just ordered a set of 18" for my car.
Unfortunately it takes a minimum of 2-3 months to get Forgestars.

Here is my thread on the first set of 18s I had.
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151258

I lost 66 lbs of rotating weight when I switched to 18s. Car handles better, accelerates faster, stops quicker, it was by far the best mod I have ever done to my car. I even gained about 2 tenths and 2.426 mph in the 1/8 mile and about .364 seconds and 2.887 mph in the 1/4 mile. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162390

19" tires are no more expensive than 20's in my experience...here is my Camaro with 275/40-19's....Pic in signature shows 275/35-19's, about 1/2" lower...

^This is what I'm going for^. Thanks I was looking at the F14, but wow they are proud of them! Not sure I can wait that long it's getting a little loose if you're not careful which doesn't bother me but the wife not so much! Guess I need to do some research now that I know it can be done.
