I just graduated College and now it's time to quit payin for school and start spendin some dough on mods for my 91 RS. Right now I have the stock teal RS rims, and I want new one's I don't know exactly what rims I want. But I know I want one's that look like ether Ealge series 058's, or Centerline Terminator telsatr style 13's (I can't get the pics to post) . I'm lookin in the price range around $50-$150 a peice. if you guys have some sweet pics of chrome rims please post. you can find both rims on jegs.com

well you can get 15" cragar street star wheels for around $100 a piece. And they look good on just about anything!

k guys... those top 2 pics of wheels are 4x4 wheels!!! why would you want those on a street car like a camaro?? they're heavy duty, and very heavy as well.. plus they will stick out a mile from the fenders because they are supposed to be for trucks..

unless you guys are going for the "el cholo" southern cali mexican style of camaro..

Actually their not, I'm looking right under the auto list of wheels, and the 4x4's are on another page , and they are wider. I'm lookin here and it says there are 15x8's here how would that stick out? that's the same as stock. now if you bought the 15x10's yes they would stick out. Anyway as long as they weren't Dayton's if they stuck out that might actually look cool. Plus if you actually read my post I said "something like these", not exactly those wheels.

Well, you definetly need rims. I don't think I would go with either of those, there are nicer out there.

actually... yes they would stick out because of the back spacing of the wheel... thats tells you how far they stick out... just cause you buy the same "size" wheel.. doesnt tell you jack about the back spacing. Yeah the "4x4" wheels are on another page cause typically a true 4x4 needs the heavy duty stuff. that doesnt mean the wheels you are looking at arent for trucks.. they are... 2 wheel drive trucks... trust me...

go with those boyds above my post.. now those kick *** and wont make you like a back yard alabama wrench monkey.

I like the 8-hole rims, myself. I have the American Racing 'Baja' in 16x8, which ran about $110 each. For slightly less, AR has the 'Tailgunner', which is similar in design but chrome steel instead of polished aluminum. More expensive ($170/ea) are the Centerline 'Champ'

I know they're a little heavy, but those rims have a different presence that your typical 5-spoke. Here's mine:
