What wheels look good?


Cordell

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

Bogarts, get em used from tech.

 

Otherwise if you want cheaper wheels your options are severely budget limited. I'm not a big fan of the CCW or Fiske wheels myself.

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.

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.
