Default Money no object.

I'm in a debate with a buddy. I think the Camaro needs a simple 5 spoke wheel design to look good compared to the T/A which can get away with a split spoke style wheel easier because the T/A body style is alot busier than the Camaro. How do you feel and what would you put on your car if money were no object?

I guess it depends on your definition of "split spoke". I consider my wheels a split spoke and I don't think they're too busy for a Camaro. I had a choice between the wheels I bought (DPE R05-S) and the DPE R16. When it came down to it, I picked the R05-S because it seems to go with the body lines better. The R16 is better-suited to the Trans Am, IMO.

I agree with you. "Simpler" wheels look better on Camaros. I've seen a few Camaros with Fikse FM10's and they can pull it off, but if I were given the choice between the FM5 and the FM10, I'd put FM5's on a Camaro and FM10's on a Trans Am.

If you want something different and have the money, I have a set of iForged Astra wheels in stock for a 4th gen. NOBODY has them on a 4th gen yet, you could be the first.

If money is no object, call Chip Foose and have him make you a custom wheel. LOL I am sure it is anything but cheap.

Are you shopping for new wheels? The Aeros on your car look perfect as-is.

If you want different, I can get you Forgeline or Bozeforged or DPE, none of them are overused on 4th gens...yet

Possibly. PM me a price on Fikse's FM 5 18's. Do they do a full polish wheel?

I agree with everything you have said. iForged Aeros are still my favorite wheel design for camaros. If I had a trans am, I would go with the CCW split spoke design

If money is no object ,I would go with a style completely different from the norm and go with some 19" HRE 840R.
