Wheel Poll: Superman09's car
 
Hey everyone. I am getting a little bored with the exterior of my car. Feel like i need to change it up some. Also another big thing is with more power coming with winter with the twins, these 18x8's won't do me crap. My wheels are 18x8 all around, Privat Fahrens, hyperdark silver spokes, polished lips, and are a little beat up with some curb rash and scratches, etc. I Need to change it up some AND go wider while i'm at it.

So for the poll. Pick what you think would look best on my car. High dollar wheels are out of the question as i just dropped a lot of cash.

I would say keep the wheels the same look you have but widen them up a bit.

These would all look great IMO. Hope this helps you out. :)

thanks, im wanting to stick with 18s so TT2s are out of the picture and the price tag on Fikse's knock those out. I really like the HP evos but dont like how they only come in 9 at the widest....

Could someone possibly photoshop my wheels with the spokes black? Thanks!

You can get the TT2's with the chrome center in 18's:

You can also get the TT2's with the painted center in 18's:

:) Just to let you know.

If you have the money I'd say go for the chrome C6 ZO6 wheels, especially if the cost of widening/refinishing gets close to what a new set cost.
I would also go with 9.5" in the front.

SSilverSSurfer Oct 22, 2006 05:21 PM

Bogarts D10's, screw the 18's

Superman09 Oct 22, 2006 05:30 PM

Nah i want 18s, car is also a show car too. I would love something with a big dish but rims with a big dish bring a big price tag

irbs Oct 22, 2006 08:41 PM

I think that the TTM's in Anthracid would look great on your car. They come in 18's and they have a good size lip on them.

<--------him

JoeSS Oct 22, 2006 08:56 PM

go with another wheels i am selling mine for $2800 ship out your door wheels are 19x9 and 19x11.5 CCW 505'S with 80% tread on pirelli p-zero tires

dirtybird22 Oct 22, 2006 08:57 PM

is your car lowered at all?
if not then definetly lower it and you can get the c6 zo6 or maybe some hp evo's just whatever floats your boat

Superman09 Oct 22, 2006 09:03 PM

Yea its lowered already. Joe, those are my dream wheels, i just don't have that much cash. If you'd be interested in some type of trade for my wheels then we may be able to work something out. However if not, i'll probably stick with mine or get some c6 z06's

qwikz28 Oct 22, 2006 09:08 PM

please no C6 Z06 wheels, they really dont match the lines of the car IMO

the TA and Camaro are very rounded cars. they are sleek and rounded in design. the C6 is a very edgy and sharp design which is why the wheels are so. they dont belong on a fbody, but to each their own.

this is just how i feel, if you like it, its your car. (i personally like your wheels better, and would like them better with 10" rear width and some spacers in the back :))

Magnet Oct 22, 2006 09:37 PM

your car has a really good look as it is, i say widen them, because too many people have the Z06's (this coming from someone with chrome zr1's :jest:)

Louie83 Oct 22, 2006 09:48 PM

If I was going to spend the money on a twin turbo system, then I'd spend the extra money to get some lighter weight wheels.

~JOSHUA Oct 22, 2006 10:07 PM

Those wheels look killer. Leave 'em on. :headbang:

Trust me. When the turbo project hits full tilt, you'll be sooooo glad you didn't spend that money on wheels. You'll need every penny and then some. Please prepare now, I've never heard of a single forced induction project come out on budget.... whatever that # may be. ~Joshua

SRfastZ Oct 22, 2006 10:52 PM

get 18s by 9.5 and 18's by 10.5 TT2

Superman09 Oct 23, 2006 05:48 AM

If i decide to get mine widened, i have a few quick questions.... First off, should i leave the color of the spokes the hyperdark silver? Any other opinions?

Secondly, will my offset be the same as what it is now? Lets say for example i have a 50mm offset with 18x8 (just throwing something out there) If i widen them to 18x10.5, will i know have 18x10.5's with a 50mm offset still or will that change? Just using this to figure out roughly what size spacer i'll need to run. Thanks!
