Default Wheel selection for 4th gens

Hey guys, I know wheels have been talked about to death, but I'm having a hard time finding something I like, that fits.

I want a multi spoke, medium size lip wheel, that can also accommodate a decently larger tire, 305 would be nice, but 285 is fine. I really wish STR 514's fit, but they only come in 120, and the consensus seems to be those can and will work, but its not a good idea. I like to run my local mountain roads aggressively from time to time, so I doubt it would be a good idea to run 120's.

Anyone know of a wheel closest to that design I'm looking for?

STR 514 (http://www.wheelplususa.com/wheels/S...d+Machined+Lip)

There are lots of things that look similar. I'm sure you looked at CCW right? They are expensive but can make any size you need with lots of finishes. Their LM20 is pretty similar.

I still love my vintage forgeline LS wheels that I got off of a member here, just wish they were 18" all around:

I've got 10 spokes right now, and they are nice, just really wanting that mesh/lip look. I suppose CCW's may be the only option, but god damn they are pricey.

I was thinking maybe C6 Zr1's but again, wanting that big machined lip. Idk though, seems like they are more suited for Trans Ams. What do you guys think looks best on Camaros? Wish I liked Torque Thrusts more cause they seem to come in any size the heart desires lol.

personally I think multi/mesh spoke wheels look better on t/a's and 5 spoke wheels look better on Camaro's. but do what you want to and think look good on your car. there is a thread in the multimedia section for NBM cars like yours, I would suggest looking through that and seeing what you like best. I will link it if I find it
