If you don't mind paying more for tires, 18's look great. Although everyoneseems to think they need to be lowered after 18's, so you might want to take that into consideration too.

I like these alot:

They're 17's, but I'm pretty sure they come in 18" too.

Yeah, I love those wheels. I'm thinking of getting them for my Formula, even though everyone says black wheels don't go with NBM.

Agreed, 18's all around. I don't much like the staggered look either. My ride isn't lowered either but it looks like it's been lowered a touch after I put my C6's on.

I absolutely, positively, HATE # 1.

Don't go with #1...try to be a little original, like every other Camaro has those wheels.

At least the other 3 aren't seen that often yet.
