Looking for New Wheel Suggestions So when i get back from afghanistan im going to try and get another set of wheels. Already have a motor built waiting to go in, car just got out of paint (fresh arctic white), just got BMR Springs and Konis to put on when i get home, C5 brake kit, and some other things. I like my wheels a lot. I like the style of the evos but the 19's are scrubbing a lot. 19x9.5 in the rear with a 295/35, i dont have any problems with the front. fenders are rolled, adjustable panhard bar too. its currently got bilsteins and eibachs on it. Idk if the konis and bmrs will raise it a little, lower it more, surely i can make the rear stiffer though so it wont bottom out as much. Depending on how the car sits with the new suspension i might go back to another set of 19's but right now im looking for 18's, very similar to my current wheel but lighter, 3 piece forged maybe? looked at all of ccw wheels, and other companys. theres a set from HRE im looking at right now. Any other suggestions?

I had just seen some wheels in the Oct. '10 issue of Camaro Performers (page 80) that are Bonspeed wheels built for Detroit Speed Inc. I particularly liked the DTM five spoke but they also showed a LMP mesh style. The DTM lookes similar to the Fikse FM5. The one pictured has a brushed spoke face, then a surrounding "step" around the spokes and barrel that is polished. I would have definitely considered these if I hadnt purchased my CCW's a few months back!

I dont like the Fikse wheels. i looked at them all even the FM10s but for the money they look cheap to me for whatever reason. Any wheel i get is going to be black center with the lip chrome/polished. I really like the HRE 590r's or the 790r's right now. theyre what i have my mind set on. and if i do sell my wheels ill let you know. any other ideas?

Perhaps you'd recommend cutting edge "trend" wheels like a set of CCW or TT2s?OP...good luck in your decision. Can't go wrong with HRE's... and welcome back
lol..this guy....well maybe because,if you ask about wheel suggestion most of the time your gonna hear ccw,fikse,tt's or some sort of z06 or zr1 wheel.And aso you might want to check the gallery section some times...bud!!!!!!.
bullshit help him choose a rim not:engarde..i dont need wheels ok kiddies.....

I checked into iforged, they have a few nices wheels. Still havent made up my mind though. Still have HRE weighing on me. And yeah the pic of my factories would be nice if i even still had them. sold them before moving to texas then deploying. I like my HP evo's but im starting to notice them a little bit of everywhere.
