Default Thinking about new rims for the SS?

Not sure if I want any, but thinking about it. I hate black rims on red cars. Hate the vette rims on f-bodies. Everyone has TT2's. I like the Fikse FM5's & FM10's, but they price is out there. I like the Privit (sp) profiles in gunmetal, but not sure how they look on the car. Love Prostars, but not for the street.

Let's see some other pic's if there are any.

Looks like what you hate or can't afford knocks out just about everything.


IMO, black wheels look SICK on red.


What kinda look you want, race? Bling?

Still in motion. Just need front tires. Thought I might buy rims with them.

I can afford the Fikse rims, just don't want to. I may go with Smoothie II's.

I saw some I really liked on a goat, but could not find them for the SS. TWS thrusters or something like that.

I do want some drag wheels, but not for the way I drive on the stree.

Just thinking, wanted to see what other people had. Besides the stuff you see all the time.

Go with some gray center TT2s in 18s, the car will look awesome. It will give the car the old school look and stay low budget. Smoothie II's don't look as good to me, the spokes are too chubby and smooth. Gray center Boyd Junkyard Dogs might also look good. Here are pics of both (18s) on my cars:

Black looks good on everything IMO! Frostbite and SIK02SS (I think it's SIK02SS) both have the black 02 SS wheels on their Red and Silver SS Camaros and they look absolutely BITCHIN to me! I seriously think that if I hadn't ordered my CCWs before seeing their cars, I may have gone that route. Both their cars look sinister
