Default What aftermarket (not oem style) wheel's should I go with?

I'm in the finishing touches phase on my exterior look that I want

The only thing I can't compromise on is what wheels would look good on my car. I own a bright red 98 SS.

I wanna sport the 6le bowtie grill.

Retractable license plate

Letter inserts and performance shop graphics.

clean and simple

I decided I don't want a OEM look, I think the z06 wheels look great, However, I want a unique look.

So far im leaning towards the fikse fm5 wheels






I don't want black either, either painted or polished

18" Fikse Fm5's are the best looking wheels for 4th gen Camaros.

Yep, 18" FM5's is my vote. Best wheels for a 4th gen Camaro ever.

I sure wish someone would come out with some different wheels that look good on a 4th gen. If I hear one more thing bout a CCW or Fiske. Seems like if everybody on here could afford those would be on 80%+ of the cars

i agree, thats why i wear painted zr1 wheels.

I always see chrome z06 wheels (they look good but not unique enough for me) and pretty much anything chrome gm oem style wheels. hence the thread.

Fikse aren't THAT common, however in forums everybody loves to show em off. They are uncommon, however I share your thoughts.

Maybe somebody has found a decent set of nice aftermarket wheels.
