Default Help me decide on some wheels!

Well im looking into changing the look of the Camaro up, the Chrome Z06 wheels look good but alot of guys are running them up here, plus mine are a bit curbed up Going to be throwing on a Sonoco Hood, still debating on grill. Spring/Summer ill be running Bogart Bolted Floyds at the track.

here is how the car sits right now



Looking at Black Torq Thrust M's 17x10.5 rears only prob is they are on backorder for a few weeks.
quickest photochop ever!




Black C6 Motorsports



Black C5 Z06 Motorsports 18's all around.


Possibly Some Budnik Hammers either chrome or black centered but kinda $$$ but definetly worth it


HP Lightnings


C6 Z06 Chrome or in black if possible


or recommend what i should go with.

I think the Budnik Hammers would look pretty decent , dont think you would have to worry about seeing them on everyone else's car , I've always been a sucker for HP Lightnings though.

I like those too but the only thing i would hate about them is them only being 9.5" wide, i wouldnt be able to stuff a 315 on them.

I think you should do something quasi-old school like the TT-Ms, in keeping with your '69 emblems. All of your choices were tasteful, though.
