I have a bit of a dilemma.


1. I`m in Scotland with a 4th gen Z28 M6

2. Some parts and stuff need to be ordered from the US

3. I don`t like my wheels and I haven`t a clue what will fit that available here.


Here`s the wheels.



This compounds my problem. I have upgraded brakes. The rotors are about 13 inch. Can anyone identify them?




I don`t know if anything I buy will clear them. The wheels on the car have no offset markings on them and I have been told they were custom ordered.

I have my eye on something like these.

Any input appreciated.

I like those wheels a lot.

I think you have a C5 Brake Upgrade.

Cheers ma man. A C5 upgrade. Ok. The wheels are not the norm on a 4th gen Camaro so I suppose i shouldn`t be too hacked off with them but, they look kinda boring to me.

I`m going to tak a gamble I think and buy some 18x9s or 18x8s with a 38 offset and cross my fingers

I think you'll be fine with any of those when it comes to clearing your brakes. I have much larger Bear brakes with a 13.5 rotor, and I found that they would clear an OEM style 17" wheel (but would not clear most aftermarket 17" wheels). Those brakes where much bigger looking than yours.

Since then, I upgraded to even larger brakes on my Camaro, and I now have 18"s and they clear just fine.

thank you very much for the input.

How are the roads in Scotland?

What size are those wheels??

I also like them A LOT, and have actually tried to contact that company in the past about getting those wheels in our sizes, bolt patterns, and offsets.
They make MANY wheels for Euro/Brit road racing and rallying.

I would just powder coat them a different color than silver (which IS "boring").

They vary from this...




to this..



Plus all the town/city stuff. Where I live there,s no cities though.



They,re 17 inch rims. 17x9. They`re actually a quality wheel and one of the lightest out there but they just don,t float my tug.

Just my $0.02 worth, I think those wheels look pretty cool, kind of remind me of Minilite Wheels, which I always liked. The car has a good stance, too.

try to paint the wheels black, might change the look and you won't be so bored with them...

while the wheels are off paint the calipers the color of the car

Caliper painting. Good idea.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen.

Thinking the same, the wheels are nice the color is boring. I was thinking polish the lip and have the rest powder coated black.

Don't know about the problem mate but that car out there is one hell of a ride and you live on a city that is too beautiful to resist.

bigkeeko

Really appreciate the input here guys. The wheels aren`t the worst but when you see every third car with them it kinda makes you want a change. If I buy new ones I`ll take a picture or two and whack them up.

Here`s my hometown for anyone thats interested. Nearly everything is German, Swedish or Japanese

The only Camaro for 100 miles! .

Kind of like being in the US, where every third Camaro/Firebird has American Racing Torque Thrust IIs........

I think if they were more of a charcoal (not black!) they would look pretty cool...maybe a round Camaro center cap decal would also give them a different edge.

Beautiful place you live in bigkeeko. Aren't those the same wheels that were used on the 'old' 4th gen Camaro Cup race cars from Sweden? I've always wanted a set of those, but I could never find them. Nice to see Camaros in different parts of the world.
