18s... I thought it would look to big, but they look good. Nice choice of rims. They are different and for 18s they are subtle. Not too much silver.

:hail: They look damn good to me! And that car looks just like mine (besides the rims of-course) Mine isnt TPI though! But im working on putting a hopped up 305 TPI in there and getting a new paint job. I think I will make your car a goal for mine. If I can get it to look as good as yours, I will be satisfied! :lala:

Those are some of the nicest rims on a Camaro i have ever see. Those look really sweet and not hokey like other guys stupid rims. Are those stock off a M5, and how much do they cost?

Thanks

BMW's bolt circle work's fine in thirdgen's.There is only 0,3mm difference per bolt(5x120,65mm/5x120mm).Problem on those wheel's is that there is not enough room to front hub,and there must be spacer ring between hub and wheel centerbore(BMW centerbore 74mm,thirdgen 70,3mm).I had 8,5x17 et13 BMW bolt circle wheel's on my -85z with 255/40 tire's and it work's fine

I think those look pretty cool man. I guess I can't complain about snow here in Illinois in this thread....
But, as I've been finding out, since I have only my Camaro for transportation, they aren't really all that bad in the snow. (with 120 lbs of sand and brand new blizzaks!) Just gotta know how to drive. I don't feel real sorry for the people I see in the ditches in Jeeps and FWD cars as I pass them in my RWD sports car on a snowy road. Actually I do I just wonder what their excuse is :lala:

They get cocky. Believe me, I do too in my Neon I'm glad that I know the limits of that car, and what it does in certain situations. If i had Blizzaks I'd probly be in the ditch

BTW, VERY nice rims!! I think that those are the only set of 18s i've seen on an F-bod that i think look good. Hmm, might have to look into those... what would you need to do to use them? cost?

Gotta ask, been wondering this for awhile. Camaros and birds over there, are they common? Can you find one on a used car lot, or do you have to import them from the states? And how hard is it to get parts for them??

They look good to me!

And I am about 95% certain they are not STOCK M5 wheels, at least all the M5s Ive seen didnt have wheels like that....

Camaros and Birds are common over here , you canīt find theme at a car dealer used very often , many cars is import frome Germany and Usa .

My car is Swdish sold (thats is not commen) and the car is in new shape low milage and very nice taken care of .

The rims are BBS Rc 300 rear 10,5X18 " and the front is 8,5X18"
they are fore BMW M5 but fit to Camaros and Birds
BBS Homepage

they are very expensive whid tyres i have 275/30-18 rear and 255/40-18 in front . Contental special tyres .
