Default Which wheels would look best?

I own a White 2000 Trans am. I've been looking around for wheels for a few months and have found several that I like but dont know which way to go. Thought I'd see what you guys thought. Please post your opinion or pictures to help me choose a set that's just what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Price range? We need to know what you think is affordable before we can start dishing out ideas.

400-600 is the most I'll pay for rims alone, no more then 1200 with tires imo.

I agree. Wheels can range anywhere from $400-$4000+. Give us a price range and we'll be able to help you better.

Oh, and damn it Tran. Every time I see your name and avatar I start laughing. I think of all those crazy videos. Wanna go to Roybertito's next weekend?

Sure if you want generic/cheap looking wheels that probably don't fit perfect, then sure only spend that much.

Tran Oewheels has some nice wheels in that price range that actually are meant for F-bodies but I agree most wheels in that range are cheap, heavy, and no bigger than 9" wide.

I was referring to wheels from oewheelsllc. Are those wheels on that site cheap and no good?

IMO yes. But for most people they fit the bill. They are a heavy cast wheel, with limited offsets... I looked into them, and ended up getting the wheels I have after consulting with some friends.

OEwheels are great quality. Just b/c they aren't CCW's dont mean they are ****. I hate seeing retarded posts like that. Not everyone can afford to go buy a set of high end wheels. Its always true you get what you pay for so of course if you drop cash on HRE's & sit them next to OEwheels you'll see the difference in the money. I'd say compared to other "cheap" wheel suppliers OE has the best customer support & product for the money & they wont empty your wallet buying a set either which is nice.

That is what I said or meant to sound like when I said "for most people they fit the bill" they are a good wheel for the money... but in the end they are still a cheap wheel.

OEWheels are a cheaper wheel, yes, but they are still really good quality for the price.

Look at the chrome C5 deep dish wheel and the CCW SP500, they look awfully similar, but the CCW's are almost 4 times the price.

I don't think I could ever spend $3k for wheels on a car that gets driven quite a bit, which is most of the cars on this site. I'd be so paranoid they'd get messed up somehow.

If you see anOEWheels wheel in person, you'll see they a great quality wheel for the price. They're better quality than OEM I'd say and are much cheaper...
