Yup id go 500s, Aero's or the FM5. If you want a real badass wheel go with FORGELINE!

I voted the FM5. I would go with that or HRE 545s. The two best looking wheels you can put on a camaro IMO.

I think its either fm5's or sp500's. I like the aeros and those hres and so on but I hate wheels with rivets. Just not my style.

SP500's for SURE! MeentSS02's Camaro is what made me want to get them!






If you would like more pictures of the whole wheel just PM me, because I have my rims off because I have my motor all torn apart for a bunch of upgrades!

Another question you should ask yourself is, "How much time do I have to keep these wheels looking great?". I have ccws and although they look awsome clean.. they are high maintenance as with any higher end rim. I'd go with CCW though..that is just my biased opinion.

I dont think its that they are "high end" as much as it is that they are polished aluminum vs. powdercoated/chrome/painted.

Polished alum is not really high maintenance as long as you keep it out of the elements. Its great for a weekend cruiser, etc. If the car sees rain/dirt/etc on a regular basis (and you dont have a separate set of wheels for that) then the polished aluminum will soon not look as nice as they did new.

You are right. "High End" wheels are just a perception and what our value on that item is. Dropping almost $4k on a set of wheels and tires is a large commitment especially when it could be over 20% of the value of the car. I keep my car garaged, out of the elements, and I still polish them because of the oxidation factor. Anyway this is getting out of the scope of the thread.
Just make sure when you drop big $$ on some wheels, you better like them
