Chevrolet Camaro 1967-2002 - Your opinion on the nicest wheels for a Camaro SS

I just bought a white 2001 Camaro SS, and Im wanting to slam it and throw some nice wheels on it. Im wanting to stay away from the $5k wheels. This is "supposed" to be a work car and I dont want to turn this car into another money pit. So, Im hoping some of you guys can chime in and give me your opinion on some really nice looking wheels.

Thanks in advanced,

Charlie

I know your not looking for expensive but Ive always like the Fikse FM5 on Camaros. But for cheaper wheels Ive always liked the C5 DD wheels. Check out oewheelsllc.com

In my opinion nicest factory style wheels would be chrome Z06

18x9.5 Front
18x10.5 Rear

I haven't seen anything I like better than my chrome
10-spokes, but those are getting hard to find in any
kind of decent shape.

I like the chrome 10 spoke on my Arctic White SS better than anything else I have seen.

New chrome (OEM RIM) 17 x9 are $295 each.

I've always thought ZR1 style wheels were the best looking besides Fikse FM5's. Here's a picture of my car with ZR1's from oewheels. The rears are 11" and they have a small lip.

^ those wheels will be on my car by the time cruising season starts in the Spring; nice look and short money.

Yeah, Ive got chrome 10 spokes on it now. And they are in PERFECT condition. Im selling them with pretty much brand new Nitto Extreme 555 tires. I want to lower the car and Id like to do a 18 and 19" combo with a 315 tire out back.. Just worried about rubbing.

What do you want for the current setup?

The 02 SS LE wheels look good and they are VERY rare.;);)

Ok, Im down to either the Deep Dish C5 5 spoke or the Deep Dish C6 Z06 wheel, both in chrome... Which one guys..????

Well I'm a 10 spoke guy too, but given those two choices I'd say C6 Z06 for sure.

Larger wheel: C4 ZR1, C5 Z06
Smaller wheel: draglites, prostars, convo pros... or if you've got big $$$ RT-S's.

google GMHTP Sti Killer...Weld Racing RT-s look absolutely killer on that car

6 he said he doesnt wanna spend a ton of cash on wheels, im sure 18,19 weld rts will be way over what he is looking to spend, 17s are almost 500 a rim, op c5dd its not even an option, i have some pics of a members ride with machine faced ones, want me to post them

^ that's why I mentioed "if you've got big $$$" haha. Best wheels for the price, Weld Draglites/Prostars hands down. I'm hesitant to say IMO... too many people would consider that a fact.

The Racestars are even cheaper and I think they look better than the Weld Stars or Draglites

Hmm I don't know about that, you can get some 15x9 Draglites for like 220. You can find the same dimension Racestar Dragstars for 230 240ish. Not a big difference, but I'd rather go with Weld because of their Rep.

i like race stars, i thought aout doing them in a 17,15 setup, need2 i was responding to litmups post. i would loveracestars if he made a 17x11, biggest rear they have in a 17 is 9.5

@bob, gotcha :cheers:

i think the gunmetal zr-1's would look good on a white car.

The 15x10 Racestars are on ebay for 210 a piece with free ship in the 7.5 backspace. The same seller has skinnies and 10's with 20 lugs, centric rings, and valve stems for 804 bucks to your door.

Ebay is a whole nother story!

Absolutely. Thanks man..

In my opinion, the best looking rims are the C5Z06's that are black with a machined face, just like the 35th LE's. VERY rare, but I've seen a few pics floating around.

I like the ZR1s, and I like that I can get them new with tires for 1k. I want the black ones for my car.

C6 Z06 for sure.

Alright, bought them this morning. Went with Chrome Deep Dish C6 Z06 (no rivits.) 18X8.5 and 18X10.5. Should be here in a week. Ill post pics then. Thanks for the help and suggestions guys..

What tire sizes are you planning on running with that set up?

how much do you want for your chrome 10 spokes? I've been looking for some for quit sometime now. have any pics of them?

Anything that didnt come from a Corvette is a plus.

My favorite wheels for F bodies are the Torque Thrust Ms. They look better than the TT2s and the rounded design fits the very round f body design.

Black c6z wheels would probably look killer on a white SS. At first I didn't like them but they grew on me.

I know your not looking for expensive but Ive always like the Fikse FM5 on Camaros. But for cheaper wheels Ive always liked the C5 DD wheels. Check out oewheelsllc.com

^THIS! Black with machined or chrome lip on a white Camaro... best you'll get for a grand or less (although Fikse's are so badass they will steal your lunch money).

I'd say z06 rims look best for any SS

I agree with the chrome 10 spokes, best looking wheels for them IMO.

Sorry man, I ended up selling the car with the GM 10 Spokes with it..

You getting another daily driver work car now?
