Default In DIRE need of new wheels!

As you guys know I have some crazy 20" wheels on my camaro and I'm looking to get rid of them, I'm thinking of using these Black ZR1 vette rims with the chrome lip, opinions?

Yea those wheels definetely got to go. The wheels you have selected are a nice touch on silver. Are you getting the 17's or 18's?

Probably 17s. I think those would be about perfect size...

Biggest i would go is an 18" wheel. I have the 17" chrome 10 spokes on mine at the moment.

i think 18" rims look better on our cars, it fills the wheel well better. but if you want some 11" rears then go with 17" then. OR you can be a rebel and get some of those new Spyder rims that come on the new Z06. im going to get some myself, just waiting to see if they come out with a 18x10.5!

I agree 18" is the perfect size unless your a 1/4 mile guy.
Im shopping too, its a pain in the butt to find something Ill will be happy with. Its not like you can put them on drive around and take them back if you don't like them.
been looking a TSW, Tork, HP racing. Seems like anything above 18 inch gets pretty heavy unless you spring $ for forged, With the Job market I think I will wait on that :0
