OP, the look you got going with your car looks awesome...I would save the cash and spend it in performance! haha but the fm5's are probably the best looking rim on a CAMARO....there are some sick looking trans ams with other looking rims. Also might wanna check out the CCW 505/500

Just got the car yesterday. Thinking about trading these wheels though. They look good but I want a wider stance for the back of the car. What do you guys think?

think you should have kept your ss. the wheel on the z is ok not great but no bad. I would probably get rid of it if it was my car.

The black camaro I had was a z28, I just put an SS hood on it. The wheels on the red z28 were what came on it. Not sure what I want to switch to. I love the zr1 look but everyone has them. Thinking maybe a set of weld drag lites to run and then a set of 17's to cruise in. But I definitely want a set of wider wheels and 315's for the rear.
