Default Thinking about some new wheels for the purple Camaro

I have been thinking of getting some new wheels for the Camaro. I am up between a few.

I have been thinking of keeping my ZR1's and getting a set of racestars but I just don't think ill go to the track enough to get my moneys worth out of them.

I think... I have it narrowed down to these two. (i didn't want to break the rules or have my thread deleted so I just posted pics instead of links)

RPM 505



Miro 111



This what ill be putting them on.

I am running VMR VB3's which are very similar to the Miro 111's. There's another option too!

Anyone know what is needed to run the miro 's? I heard you need some hub ring or something? Also heard there are issues with the rear center caps not fitting.

Nope, you shouldn't have to do anything. They should bolt right up. Usually the company selling the wheels will tell you that you need a hub ring to protect their own asses. If you're looking at the "BMW Pattern" than you should be fine as the hub ring is a difference of 2-3mm.

I totally avoided buying a pontiac pursuit in that color 3 years ago due to how ugly it was... I now like that color voted for the miro 111.

Anyone else know if I need anything. How about a good hook up on tires?

Guys with 18s, what size are you running? I saw some with 275/35 and others with 285/35

Well, back to the drawing board. Miro 111 are discontinued.

Been thinking of the rpm 505. (Starting to like the all silver more than the black center ones)

Black ZR1s (new style)

C5 ZO6 with polished lip black center. (no rivets)

I really don't want vette wheels.
