I need help deciding on rims
Hey guys, possibly thinking of getting new rims for my car in the future. Right now i have these black ones on it that the previous owner had put on(painted stock rims) and he gave me another set of none painted stock rims that i'm planning on putting on soon. what rims should i get for my camaro if i do get some or keep stock? If you have any pics of them already on a camaro that would be helpful. Thanks guys

Okay, first off, any wheels would be better then the black spray painted ones you currently are running (no offense).
With that hood, try some 17" 4th gen wheels (SS, Y2K). Even stock 91-92 Camaro wheels would look great (ps I am selling a nice set with tires)
Second, no offense again get rid of the bra, that car would be sooooo much nicer without the bra, bra's suck. Now I am sure you have it on because the other owner you got her from had it on and messed up the front end already, but try to get rid of it and touch the nose up.
Other than that good looking car, nice hood guy..

I'd say go with a set of polished 18" irocs. You should put that other set of rims on you have until you can get a new set cause the black ones just look like there coverd in brake dust(no offence).

IMO opinion these are the best wheels for the bucks....I like the ROH snyper rims, the torque thrust 2's and the ZR-1'S but then you have to spend another ton of cash on wheel spacers ,which from i've been told in PA they won't pass inspection. Direct bolt up and just as nice as the other 3 i mentioned...check them out.

how bad of shape are the wheels you have now? since we don't have a budget its rather hard to suggest but i'd recommend maybe just polishing your wheels now if they are decent but painted.

The way his rims are now make his car look evil in a Mad Max kind of way. I kind of like it that way....I do like the new third gen ZR1s though, they seem like a good deal.

I would go with some 17's or 18's polished 5 star wheels of some sort, it would improve the looks a lot

I have always like the Fikse FM5 wheels, but the $2500 price tag says "NO!" But, these look pretty much the same, with a much lower price tag, but no one has mentioned them yet.
It has coem to my attention that these wheels are made for FWD cars, so no luck. Besides, without a recessed bolt area, it looks kinda funny.

You know... I'd probably prefer the Boyd Coddington Swingman wheels. They would probably come in the 17 x 9.5" size I want (AR only comes in 17 x 9) and look a bit nicer. Only problem is they are currently exclusive wheels and don't seem to be for sale. I want them!
