FM5=timeless...even though ccw's look really good there are only a few wheels in history that never look dated IMHO and the FM5 and TTII are two of them

If you really want somehting different holla at Nineball since he is a dealer for unique high-end wheels, 360 forged, true forged and I'm sure Ironhead can show you his Iforged, as well as Rushforth and DPE wheels, there are alot of offerings out there now...good luck

Fikse FM5s dumdumdum!!!! I think those would look sweet, the SP505a"s would look sweet too. I think the SP500s look great on T/As but not as good on camaros.

On trans ams, CCW 505A is probably my favorite rim ever, but for a camaro the FM5s just look awesome.

CCW's for sure. SP500 OR SP600's would look best

I think the lighter color cars benefit from a "flashier" wheel, but FM5's just look hardcore on black cars:

All are excellent choices, but as 2FNQUIK mentioned, there are alternatives. I'm partial to the DPE R-05 Variant S, myself. I had a set on my Z28, and they looked great.

The guy who bought my car is selling the wheels and tires, if you're interested.

Depends which look you're going for. Purpose built; FM/5's, Flashy; CCW's. I personally like Fikse craftsmanship over CCW, but CCW is a great company. That being said the Fikse's get my vote.
