What rims for a white SS? I have a 01' SS. I want to get some rims in the future and was wondering what you guys had as far as suggestion and pics. I like Z06's...Fikse are nice...but the price is not. What is a classy yet sporty rim.
I do like black rims...especially with polished lips on white cars.
Let me see some pics!!!
Thanks a bunch fellas!

I definitely have not made up my mind. I just don't want to have the typical cookie cutter rim.....but on the other hand, I am kind of picky with what I like. Not big on Boyds, or some of the other custom type wheels. I like Simmons, I like ROH, I Iforged rims are nice. I don't really want to get ZR1's because every other Camaro has them.
Let me know what you guys think....and pics would be a great help!!!!!

I have yet to see a white SS with white powder coated 10 spokes or Z06's. I think that would look good. Kinda like the 30th aniv. edition with the white ZR1's.

Anybody know where to find the Fikse FM5's in black...or how much they would cost??
Who carries Simmons wheels?

I know you said you don't want the ZR1s, but I thought I'd post. Just another white car with black rims.. Not a very good picture, but look at the sig

How hard is it to get a set of Z06 rims to fit.
Do most people who do the Z06's put the 17's in the front and the 18's in the back??
Or just 17's all around.
Will the 18x10.5 fit ok?

they fit fine with the right offset and the right tire size....do some research theres plenty of info...
if you do 17/18 combo youll save the most money probably...and itll look exactly like the vettes have them...
With 18's only you get a nice handling showroom look and such
either or works...if im not mistaken the best tire for the 18x10.5 is a 285/30-35?/18 (cant remeber what profile i tghink its 35) the biggest id go for a good fit tho which is a tight squeeze is a 295
