245/45-18 in front 275/40-18 in the back. I already bought some Michelin Pilot Sports.

Why so narrow? You could go a bit wider....Especially on a 18.5" wide rear wheel!

Firebreather

Oops! That was a typo. The fronts are 18x8.5 and the rears are 18x9.5
With 18x19.5 I would have needed just one rear wheel in the center

Those look sharp! What kind of rims are they? And how much did they set you back?

Firebreather

Anyone knows a part number or size for the studs I need for the Breyton Magic Racing wheels? Are LS1 studs longer?

I am more of a five spoke guy myself but those wheels are pretty kick *** bro.

Here is a qustion for you guys I have a red '91 Camaro RS that looks stock. Would Corvette C6 polished wheels look good or would there be to big of a gap exposing my stock drum brakes in the back and stock disk brakes in the front?

Firebreather

Here's a Camaro with C6 polished wheels from Dockrocker.

I know this is a 3rd gen board but I thought I'd share what BMW wheels look like on a 2nd gen. I just got the car and am building a 427 for it, and it needs paint, etc.. but I got these wheels and tires for $100 so I couldn't really complain.

eh, at first i was prepared to flame (BMW ON A CAMARO! >:\) but then i looked instead of just opening my mouth. They look ok. Definately look like bmw wheels, but it could be much worse.

MitchellDeMoor

Ya I know I have already seen this car and have it saved as my desktop. But I am still in high school and cannot afford good brakes so I have rusty looking drums in he rear and shitty looking stock front disk brakes. I usually see a car with nice wheels and old crappy brakes and puke. But I have managed to find a set of pollished C6 wheels for supper cheap. Will it look like **** with my brakes or will it look okay???

It'll look fine. You can take a little time and go buy some Duplicolor caliper paint and some masking tape and paint the calipers and drums (don't paint the drums anything but black though, that will look like ****).

WHERE CAN I FIND MORE PICTURES OF THIS CAR?????

I promise I am not trying to thread jack and will do my best to keep this on topic. Try to ignore the distraction and focus on the wheels in this link

(warning - not particularily work safe)

Are those BBS wheels, or BMW wheels and can anyone identify them ? (please don't post the picture in here or the thread will surely be locked)

there is no doubt that man has a clean 3rd gen and the wheels are just what he wanted. but the first time i ever saw the 5 spoke stock 3rd gen rim i just said damn! i had like crager and American mag but from that time on i wanted those rims on my next camaro, and the next two i bought had those rims. 20 years later im building my 90 and i went through all the stuff about new rims, modern rims, etc and then it hit me.
I'm and American and I want people to know i drive America and let them think of American Muscle. i dont want to look like my neighbors beemer with a different body. i dont want to drive on chrome wagon wheels. i want people to see rubber on the road, American rubber on an American road and under an American car.
so i kept the original wheels, filled the wheel wells up with 255/60 15 on the front and 275/60 15 on the back, with big letters that show an American tire. ok i need to finish painting the center caps and put them on but they were still wet so they did not make the pic.
not that anyone is wrong to do it any other way, and lots of cars look great without all that, and this one of the bird and the other stuff look good too. but i like mine, been driving it since 1990.

Hey, I just noticed this post. The wheels on that Camaro look really small. I have C6s on my Camaro and they look much larger than those.



When I started off with them, I had C5 brakes on the front and stock drums on the back. It didnt look horrendous but I have since upgraded my rear brakes to LS1 brakes after I did my rear end swap. They will look fine with stock brakes. Paint the drums black though and it will look alright.

Yet 99.9% of the replacement parts on our cars and made in a foreign country.

when i can find them here i buy them made here.
i dont buy chinese slave labor parts, and i dont buy rubber from france, or rims from germany. i'm retired Army and i guess it shows sometimes. like the yellow "support our troops" on my car.
i do what i can, but im old fashioned, i admit it. i think the best song ever sung was leon russel, g harrison, ringo, klause vohrman, claudia lanier doing jumping jack flash/ young blood during the concert for bangladesh - that means i am really old - and i think the rims here are very nice - never said they were anything but nice.

I Posted earlier, but now my car is painted....

Dinmiller

i read the post thought it was going to look really bad, but it actualy looks pretty good

online170

Cool thx. I was a little skeptical too, but the wheels really compliment the black car, and vise versa.

The pictures never show it,but the wheels arent actually all white. The Lip, and the "face" of each spoke is brushed aluminum. It looks neat if you see it in person. Ill try and get pix with a camera that can show it, these are cell phone pix.

Dinmiller

Maybe so, but they still sound like american muscle. Unlike all the others that sound like wind-up cars.

from what bmw did those wheels come off of

online170

They are one of a kind (or very close to) made by a wheel shop in Belgium as a show peice. So they didnt come on any cars.

However they are close to style 42 on this website;
http://decrass.ru/bmw/wheels/

Not sure what car those were on either.

Its hard to find a set of wheels with 15mm or less offset. Any ideas

I honestly don't even remember where I got the picture from. I wish I could find more, but it was the only one I saw.

SuperBeast666

We had a BMW M5 in are shop and I was thinking about tempting to throw them on to see how they fit. I give you props bro. Dare to be different.

I've seen BMW wheels on every gen of F-body so I keep an eye out for good deals on BMW wheels. I found these used Racing Hart C2s on craigslist. They 18x8 3 piece wheels and are over $3000 new. They need some cleaning and have some scratches but I paid $600.



I haven't put them on anything yet and I bought them for my 79 TA but here's a pic of them next to my 68 just to see how they looked



I've seen OZ Racing Mitos on a couple first gen Camaros on pro-touring.com and I like them a lot. I've been keeping an eye out for a cheap set.
