Default Post Pics! A few questions...

99% of camaros I see are running stock or 10 spokes... Any reason? I know it's rice but there's so many available styles out there so why not try something new?

uh... I like the bonspeed...

Factory style wheels are cheap and easy to come by

Believe it or not, over 99% of the camaros all came out of the factory with "stock" wheels. Sure it looks better to have aftermarket rims, but it is not required if you own a camaro. I personally plan on getting iforged wheels but until then I'll be riding on my stock wheels. Just out of curiosity, I see you have an interest in a certain wheel, but what wheels do you have on yours?

I personally like the stock SS wheels. No reason to change them IMO.

id rather pay $400 for a set of SS 10 spokes than for one or two aftermarket wheels, plus there is a pretty good chance that the backspacing and everything is correct and the tires wont rub

Ha, got nothing on mine.. don't own one at the moment. Had a '95 with stock when I was living in Chicago but back in Canada waiting for the money to come around. The fikse are really nice, I just don't gravitate to the 10 spokes. I was just curious if there was an issue specific to camaros. Kids around here do the wheels first, there's stock civics rolling on 5k worth of wheels.

Because they come with 14x5 inch wide steel wheels and hubcaps that look and perform like ***. Our cars could come with some fairly nice looking and performing 17x9's. Besides, most people with an Fbody concentrate more on performance than looks, so wheels aren't necessarily high on the list of priorities.

I definitely went performance first before dropping big $$ on wheels. I still wish I had waited and put that money into a custom nitrous setup *shrugs* but the wheels look nice nonetheless
