Default Best Wheels for a F-Body?

Starting to get the urge to switch up the wheels on my car, any ideas or suggestions that you think look good on an F-Body? Thanks!

that is an extremely broad question. IMO you should get wheels that YOU like, plus like said above everyone will have a different opinion on the subject and you will never get a straight answer from everyone.

in saying that, what is the purpose of the car (ie. drag, handling, weekend cruiser etc.)

I like my Vette wheels. :c

But I'd like something more aggressive though. Maybe...C6 Z06 Vette wheels!

I just need to lower it 2 inches.

I liked vette wheels too until I realized repros were cheap, heavy, and everyone runs them. It wasn't until I saw something high-end in person than I realized I went the wrong direction but I accredited to being 16. OP if I was going with a mid-range wheel setup, I would do Forgestars. Look good, much lighter than stockers, fit BBK. Higher end something like my wheels I think are perfect for a trans am but your looking $2500-3000 for a set. On your Camaro my all time favorite combos are Fikse FM5's or CCW SP500. For a daily though Id really think about Forgestars. Anything polished will be a bitch to keep clean, mine are now and its a garage queen.

The Forgestars did not look to shabby, and yeah I run polished Dragstars on my other 4th Gen. They look great, but I don't want to do the same set up. Will need to look in the Forgestars for sure. Just out of curiosity what kind of wheels are on your WS6?

They don't look all that bad on the Camaro's, but the TA's can pull them off extremely nicely.

No way dude. To many people run those things.

I like c5 polished aluminum DD or the look of any polished aluminum rim

I agree they are played out, but I still think for the money they are a great looking wheel. It's all subjective I guess
