17 x 11's
 
can anyone recommend some good wheel choices if I want to run 17x11's in the back?

ZR1, torq thrust II, Fikse... What's your budget?

ZEEMAN Nov 17, 2005 07:36 AM

If you can find a good deal i would look into boyd coddington timeless II

budget isn't really an issue. I'll just save for awhile if I have to, as long as I get what I really want and don't have to settle. does anyone have pics of any of those wheels mentioned?

Well, here's ZR1's, but I am sure you already know what they look like.

zr1's are the easiest on the pocket, if you got the money then HRE, Iforged, Fiske, CCW, etc !

What kind of car..if your running a Bird of any kind you can get away with a lot more than us Camaro guys.....

You can out ANYTHING on a bird..and it nearly always looks ok...not so for a camaro

Take 98 LS WON 's car up there...Im not a fan of thoes wheels BUT..on that car...it works...

Birds are just more "Organic"

I'm running an '01 formula firebird with stock wheels and tires.

monicaz28 Nov 17, 2005 11:05 AM

I would get the zr1's

I agree that birds can pull off more wheels, but I think the BC Tuned looks good on camaro's too:

I don't mind...$1420 shipped. 9.5's up front and 11's out back. I can't find anyone else who has them so it was worth it to me. Got em from Discount Tire, they don't list them but if you call and ask they can get them. I tried to use Pro Dyno since they are a sponsor but I emailed and didn't get any response. I hope we get Dis.Tire as a sponsor soon. I will have pics as soon as they come in.

ZR-1's chrome or black depending on the color of your car!
