which wheels on a 99 nbm SS
I would have a hard time deciding between the Z0 and the ZRs, the 10 spokes would be out of the line up. Although both wheels are played out there also both the best looking on our cars for the money.
I say go with the 18" C5 Z06, the ZR1s with 11" in the rear would be my second choice. The 18" Z06 would have more flash to it and set off the NBM better not to mention they would better fill the wheel wells.

alright changed my mind!
i want Z06 wheels! now i just need to know what size and offset to get so i can fit a 315! 18x9.5 65mm for the front and a 18x10.5 58mm for the rear? will that fit?

probably not but i could be wrong, i think i saw a guy selling a set of z06's 18x10.5 in the fs sec with the 53mm offset (rear). I have the 58mm and i dont see a 315 fitting, but with the 53mm you might be able to.
I will sell you my chrome ZR1's. they are immaculate. I bought some "SS" centers from. SLP. They are 11's 50mm and the 9.5's are 56mm. The rear tires are Nitto 315's and the fronts are 275 Sumitomo's and I can meet you part of the way. I am by St Louis.

yea i like the tt2's too but im only 19 and cant really afford them! so im looking for a cheaper rim. jgkadell my brother is actually looking to buy chrome zr-1's (one more reason i dont want them anymore) how much are you asking?
got the pics, here they are
these were also taken around dusk so when i get a nice sunny day ill take much better pics
they fit in with no rubbing on nitto 315 rears.
just ignore the wagon wheel marks on the ground from the power washer

that looks really good! you guys are making it soooo hard for me to make up my mind! i think im gonna go with Z06 if i can find the right offset orelse a black or gun metal ZR-1!!
my thread " baddest nbm fbodys" was really a cool thread. a$$ loads of pics. thanks to all these guys on this site. so with all those damn sick looking cars, it left me still undecided... 
I think one of the nicest rims that you can have on an SS are the chrome 10 spokes. 2 problems with them, they aren't available in 11's and the chrome peals off. I love those rims because they are unique to the SS camaro. If I ever get some extra cash, i'll get a set of standard 10 spokes, have them widened and chromed properly. I'm with you, you have to have the 315's in the back. I ended up going with chrome ZR1's and I like them too since they keep the OE look. Good luck with what ever you decide.
