Cordell Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I am considering buying some wheels for my Camaro, would like to get some opinions of what some of you guys think would look good on my car. I don't plan on going to the drag strip or racing much on these wheels so that is of no concern, just something that would look good to cruise on. I'm thinking 17s. I am tired of seeing nothing but Corvette wheels on f-bodies and want to do something different, and I don't really want to break the bank with CCWs. Here's a couple I like but am not sure of, and it's not like I'm set on black. Opinions please. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/dumb/torquethrustm_zps5e7088fb.jpg http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/dumb/streetliteblack_zpsa7a933dd.png http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/dumb/hurstdazzler_zps68b49b20.jpg and the car http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/CIMG0243.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontiacfreak142 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I think the first ones would look good personally. I know you say you dont like the vette wheel idea, but check o.e. wheels web site. They have different variations of vette rims that look damn good. They have a set of c6 zr1 replicas powder coated black with pollished lip that im gonna pick up eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 if you want to go cheap you can get ZR1 knockoffs on ebay for liek 500 per set... http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm293/DUhulk78/NewZR1s.jpg?t=1236131576 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Alex- Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I would stick with polished/chrome, and as others have said, none of the above. If you're wanting to stay cheap, XXR has a CCW Classic rep out now that Cobra guys are starting to use a lot. Honestly though, for me it's hard to beat chrome C4 ZR1s on a 4th gen Camaro, even though you said no Corvette wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickey4271647545519 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I personally think the street lite(polished) or the dazzler would look great on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 So I say that I don't want to do Vette wheels, especially the cheap knock-offs, or expensive CCWs and that's what everyone posts. Thanks for all the feedback guys. No wonder I have always kept the stock 16s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of the CCW or Fiske wheels myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 none of them... whats your bolt pattern? 5x120? 5x4.75" While people will argue that 5x120 will fit, but I refuse to consider it. Might be less then a millimeter difference, but it's the same reason I don't want to use crappy knock off wheels, quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No arguments here and looking on tech at the many who had wheel stud issues and fitment problems with BMW wheels also tells me i'll never run them either.
