Default LS1members! I need your opinion. Thanks (Pics inside)

I'm saving up for a new set of rims & tires. The setup I'm running right now are old school ZO6's in 18 x 9.5 all the way around with 275/40/18 tires on all four. I guess I'm tired of seeing these on every camaro I see. This is how my car looks right now.

Front:


Side:


Rear:


I'm thinking of going with 19's with 19x8.5 in the front and with 19x9.5 in the rear with 255/30/19 (front) & 295/30/19 (rear). These rims come in either silver or black with a 4 inch polished lip in the rear. I wish I had the money to buy CCW or Iforge rims, but I don't have $2,500 for rims without tires.
I saw these on Ebay and the price is right. I know tires are going to be another $600-$900 depending on the brand I choose. Let me know what you think of these rims. Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this and for any ideas you can give me on some 5 spoke deep dish rims. Almost forgot, I will paint over the BMW center caps.

here is the page:

Item number is: 160073665975

thoose are good looking, and the offsets will work fine. i think if you like them go for it. Try to get some diff center caps though 9bills for 19s arent bad. Not alot of people are running 19s so you deff will achieve what your looking to do.

Thanks dpw41285 for your opinion. You have a nice car there. I wish my car color was black. They just look mean!

I like those rims, and I think those offsets should work. Im sure a director will chime in soon for a confirmation *hint* *hint*. I would go with the black FTW!!! They would look the best on your car IMO!! Definitely paint over, or find some new caps to put on before installing on the car. Keep us updated on whether you get em or not and DEFINITELY post pics once you install them.

I'm going to paint the center caps with gloss black if I decide to buy these. I would like to get the black set of rims to go with my black roof & SS badges. Thanks for checking my thread Xx01CamaroZ28xX. Anyone have a better set of 19 inch rims for under $1,000 that come with a 4 inch rear lip? That is going to be hard to find.

I think HP Evos are close to that big of a lip but they aren't five spoke.

Evo's have a 3inch lip, and look just as good. They are around the same price too.

Nice wheels. If you get them and paint the center cap, try to paint the "rivets" around the wheels too. I think they would look a lot better all black with the polished rim.

I think your car looks good as it sits. If anything, I'd probably go 10.5 at the rear.

For about that price, check out CCW, they have some killer looking wheels. Personally I think the Z06s look great, maybe I'm boring

The BMW's def look like a great deal. And you do NOT want your car to be black b/c it is impossible to keep clean for more than a day.

yea 10.5 in the rear would be better IMO. Having a 19x9.5 in the back? you can kiss traction goodbye.

Now those are my dreams rims on your camaro! I know they cost you an arm & a leg. How much did they rims set you back ulySSes? Do I really want to know ! LoL

I want to thank everyone on the nice comments on my car. I'm going to drop it soon with DSM springs I have in my garage. I was thinking of going with 10.5 ZO6's in the back, but then again, I would still have ZO6's.

I guess I never thought of the hard work to keep a black car clean?

Are we talking about 2 rims or the set of 4 for 19's? I wish that were true.... . Everyone that are running 19's or wide 18's always talk about paying $2,300-$2500 shipped. (without tires) CCW could maybe make me a set of 15 X 8 for grand. LoL
