Default Anyone here running the Tork Imagines on a Camaro?

Just came across these and was wondering what they'd look like on the Camaro. I like how you can get them in a "hyper black" finish. It reminds me of black chrome. I think I might pick them up for the car rather than the TT2's that I was going to go with. Everyone seems to have the TT2's and I kind of think that these look a little better. What do you guys think?

18X8 is the only size I believe. That's the one issue I don't like about them. I do like the look though. I think that with a simple H/C setup you'd be hard pressed to find a tire in that width range that would be able to give you any bite whatsoever... Which makes me wonder if the TT2's would be a better choice just for that simple fact.

Call them. I was looking at rims on their site too and didn't like the sizes the offered so I called them and they had different sizes to choose from.

Yea, someone has them on the board. Hes the car in the above picture and he might chime in if he sees this. They do look like awesome wheels but they dont run very big just so you know. I was looking into them a while back.

5x4.75" (5x120.65)

5x120 will fit though, that's what I have.

Ah. Cool man, thanks for clearing that up for me.

As much as I do like these wheels though, I think I'll still probably go with a set of Torque Thrust 2's. I am a huge fan of the look of them and like the advantage of being able to go with an 11" wheel in the rear. Only downside to the TT2's is that EVERYONE seems to have them

I bought a set of 18X9 just waiting on my springs to put them on, went with 275/35 18 BFG KDWS new tread pattern. Will post as soon as Strano sends my springs.

Me and you are in the same boat bro But I was thinking if I do buy a set I will just powder coat them all black with a red ring at the end of the lip...

I don't see the problem with getting the tt2's, the reason everyone has them is because they look good on our cars! What's wrong with that?

The biggest they make is 19x9,that's what I have.I run 275/30/19 on all four corners.Same width tire as stock,which was good enough for me.

There's nothing wrong with it. Some people just like to be leaders not followers.
