You're such a tease!

I really would like to go 19/18 or 18/18 and a little wider, but I have new tires already, and I'm a broke college student trying to make the best of what I have.


Looks nice, randay_redZ28

i dont think you should go any larger than 18" on our cars. some guys pull off the 19" look but not everyone can. good luck with your search.

The one thing I don't like about those wheels is the black lip. There needs to be some separation between the wheel and the tire, IMO. It's a mean-looking wheel though. Kind of reminds me of the IROC wheels I had on my '91
Thanks for the comps. Yeah i do agree with you on the black lip, but in person you can see the seperation. I pm'ed you a link to some wheels.

So now I'm considering these, but they're almost as played out as ZR1s and Lambo doors...

I've always liked the C5 Z06s though...on the right car, that is.



I'm kind of surprised that the chrome C6 Z06 is leading in the poll. I don't see many Camaros with those here on the boards. I just wonder if all that chrome would look too flashy with my shiny red car. On that NBM SS, they look unbelievable. On a red car, I'm not so sure. Any thoughts on that?

I say RUFF 278's. They will look good on the Camaro. If I were to choose out of your list, I would pick the TTM's in anthracite! I just put 278's on my Vette, 18/19's, and love 'em.

I would probably get those if they were made in the size I'm looking for.

Nice Vette

out of the choices offered in the poll, i voted for the machined black Y2K's....those look awesome, and would look great on a red/black camaro

my next choice would be the C6 Z06's in chrome

and get some Strano springs already....that car is entirely too high off the ground......

I see c5 z06's on this board alot, but not that many locals have em. I would get them because even though they are popular, the color you want is not. They also arent as played out to me as Torque Thrusts....

Black hockey stripes would set those off nicely. Look a little out of place imo.

Played out? Maybe polished and chrome C5 Z06s but not the rivetless black ones with machined lips. These wheels are pretty rare... don't understand why though since almost everyone who ended up with motorsports originally wanted these wheels. I was lucky enough to get mine while Factory Reproductions was still supplying them to Tomzwheels. They supposedly on backorder now.
