Default Wheel recommendations? 70 Camaro

I have been trying to find some wheels for about $2,000 and have had no luck. I am probably going to go with Hugger Orange or Black for my car so I think black with a polished lip would complement the orange and just polished would go better with the black. I love TT2's but I want someone different, seems I might have to turn to those though because of the price.

I wouldn't even mind something used if anyone is selling anything.

Anyone have any opinions? Can't find any decent wheels. Looking for 18's..

Hopsters would look good on it if ya ask me. TT2s look amazing on them but everyone has them. And you cant go wrong with weld draglites on any camaro either.

For about 600 more you could have a set of CCWs and really set your 2nd gen off from the rest.

Where can I get them? And what do I need to run them on my 70? I love the 505a's.

You can get the phone number off their website at CCWheel.com and they should have all the info you need to fit them on your 71 Camaro. PS, any pics of it? I have a 72 myself.

Here are some pics. Paid 5k for it and has A/C, rebuilt motor/trans, new tires, no floor rust, new interior, no dents but a small bit of quarter panel rust. Been driving it every day for the past few weeks.






Any more suggestions guys?

Car looks good! Are you going to keep the split bumpers or put a full bumper back on it?

I'd just look into a set of CCWs like mentioned before. A set of 505As or even Classics or LM20s would look killer on it.

Not any that will fit a 2nd gen Camaro. You might be the first with a set on a 70-73 car.

I thought you could use spacers or something to run 4th gen wheels.

I don't know, that's a lot of difference. My 10" wheels on my 4th gen use 7.5" backspace, and my 10" wheels on my 2nd gen use 5.5" backspace..a 2" spacer is a lot.
