With the color of your car the only rim i would choose is chrome. Make you car shine, dark wheels remind me of someone who uses cheap brake pads and doesn't clean the brake dust off their wheels just saying, some combos do look great.

c5 zo6 wheels have always been a favorite of mine for a budget wheel on a 4th gen camaro, dont think you can go wrong with a set of chrome ones.

What they all said...

Chrome or Gunmetal should be the only two finish options IMO, never black.

Agree screw oe wheels,fm5s,ccws,boze wheels would be out of the normal,bogarts,forgeline, or could go with weld rts in 17s. Any of those options you can't go wrong.imo its worth it to drop the extra on highend rims,they look way better than oe wheels,and just take the car to another level.

ok ima come out and say this, sorry to sound like a wheel noob..

I really like OE wheels, and the C5 or C6Z Deep dish looks perfect.. on the back.

Why is it that on the fronts the "deep dish" is not there, Where if you look at like those CCWSP500 witch I think is better looking then most women, the fronts have a deep dish..

If I could get all 4's on my Trans am from OE wheels to have the "deep dish" id place my order >_>
