Default What wheels for pewter Camaro?

I am going to lower my car soon. After that, I want to get some new wheels. Just not sure what wheels to get. What would look best on my car? Thanks for any ideas!

Pewter cars can go either way...are you looking for black, silver, chrome, polished? Pewter is my favorite color on these cars as you can go either way. Personally, I would do a lighter color, whether it be chrome, polished or silver. As far as what style, I love a set of silver painted ZR1 with 17x11s out back. 18" wheels look good too...I am a fan of OE style wheels on these cars. Without breaking the bank there isn't much else...

If I had enough money I would ultimately choose Fikse FM5s.

18" C6Z06 black with polished lip staggered or regular fitment. Personally I'm going with C5 Z06 black with polished lip in 18X10.5 on all corners wrapped with 295/35/18 BFGoodrich G-force Rivals... As soon as they arrive I will post pics. Also my car is matte white

Go with darker colors but not black. With black wheels, the wheels disappear with the tires.

I have metallic anthracite with mine, they look black from far, far away however they are not when you look closely.

IMO, A set of Racestar, Dark star wheels in either 17 x 9.5 or 18 x 9.5 front and rear, the black chrome like finish looks really good!

The fronts are 17 x 9.5s

Polished ZR1s staggered and remove the side molding. Would go good with your exhaust and if you have stainless Camaro inserts in your berger panel. It's going to look much better lowered even on the stock wheels though.

I have a pewter Camaro and I recently picked up a set of C5 Z06 wheels. I plan to have them powdercoated gunmetal gray, or anthracite.

I think polished c5 z06s look best on pewter cars!
