alright guys, i'm trying to go wheel shopping for something. But there are so many wheels and i want to make the right choice. SO what rims do you have, please post pics.






Thanks,
Shane

 

98 vette, I'm turning it into a C5 one part at a time

 

i love custom billet wheels......however if your going used the best deals are on those using adapters. size is the most imporant factor as the price increase from 17-18 and beyond is huge.

 

yeah i'd like to keep it below $180-$200 a wheel.

 

doesn't mean much not knowing what size. you could get 15" 3 piece racing wheels for that.

 

17, no larger, no smaller.

8 in wide is cool but 9 is better

 

why 8....why is 9 better? you have to be specific with yourself and know what you want in order for others to help sugest

 

because with an 8 i can still put 275's on there, your not supposed to but you can. witha 9 it'll be even better. But i dont care.

 

you should care, prices of rims aren't that different in width and when you stretch or in your case squeeze a tire you really change how it works.

if you want to run 275's you should look to 9.5" rims.

 

d00d, what rims are these??????

 

I LOVE MY 89 FORMIES !

 

the search button is your friend

 

alright, i've been here forever, i know plenty about the search button. I am just trying to find rims for me.

 

the majority of rims anyone talks about here have probably been discussed before.

 

answer my question, anyone knwo what rim this is???

No need for the same pic twice..

 

17 x 8.5 wheels with 245/45/zr17 tires is the about the best choice fora upgrade without affecting anything. The wheel design is up to you. Check out various wheel companies for what available for a 3rd gen with using spacers if possible.

That wheels looks like what its on a 4th gen stock wheel 98/02.

 

I thought you couldn't afford $20 for a T-top bag the other day? Did ya land a job or something???

I like the Boyd Coddington "TUNED" wheels in 18":



CrazyHawaiian's ride on 18" tuned wheels:

 

i've started my own practice. My neighbor paid me $30 to install a new lazer printer. That took me a whole 10 minutes. I think i can do this profesionally.

But my $30 already turned into what, ummmm $5. I needed suplies for my latest project.

jobs are slowly opening up though. Soon enough i'll have a job. The local mall is getting ready to start hiring for the summer. And the retail stores already started. I screwed up 2 interviews, lord knwos how. I think i gotta start wearingmy cackies when i goto interviews from now on, i'll look more professional.

nah those are atleast 17's and the spokes are too thine for stock. They are after market. Major aftermarket.

 

thats candied's car in front but that rear car, man i love those wheels.

 

Those look like Firehawk wheels.

 

I believe they are KMC's - Zonfire has them.

 

The part that throws me off is the inner lip. My WS6 wheels look like those wheels, but with slightly fatter spokes.
I guess it's a cross between a Firehawk and a WS6 wheel.

 

heres mine...

one of a kind wheels (well...copied from kmc)

iroc2nv

 

Thats kandied car up front, he said he somewhat knows the d00d, but that the wheels seased production in '97....

 

No those are Firehawk weeks. Here are my KMC Stealths. Yes they are 20's.

 

I Like the Camaro SS and ZR1 rims but I wont post pics im sure most of you know what they look like.:lala: :lala: :lala:

 

The wheels you are asking about look alot like a design enkei had out about 5 years ago...they may still have them, don't really know. They also had some that looked just like it, but at the rim, the spokes had little quarter circle supports.

 

well as i said i won't get info for them until early july. however they are 18's and i do know they are discontinued. doesn't mean they can't be found used or another similar rim could be out there.

 

you owe me for all this research....

 

another side shot....

Dam, yes sir, right away sir!!!!!


J/K You just sounds like a d-i-@-k they way you typed that, lol.

Somone said it already, search, I know everyone always says that, but in this case it is true, I just bought new wheels for my car (17" ROH snypers) and did a search to find pics of wheels to get ideas, and I found like 400 pages with wheel info on them, with some threads having over 300 posts of members pics with every wheel you could think of, try it out, you will find a great many ideas. (PS I like most ROH wheels, 4th gen SS/Y2K and firehawk wheels, TT2's are all top 5 wheels IMO).

Trans Am #5......... Dude, that is a smoking ride, I love that baby, great looking car, smooth, perfect, love the color, the wheels, just looks great, one of the top 5 3rd gen Pontiac's I have seen on this site.

 

TPl383 what would you like to know about the vert....i found a few pictures of it as well.

www.camarosuperfest.com

photo page. just search through and you'll find a few thirdgens here and there.

 

Thank you very much for the compliment GoFaster....when I asked about painting the car...a lot of people told me that white is sooooo boring but I get so many compliments on it and it looks fantastic all the time that I am very happy with my choice as well.

 

Jeff,

Just better shots of it etc. Im puting a 8point cage in my vert and noticed that had a cage in it.

 

Boring... Well, you know that is not true. White is a good color, when you get the right wheels and all, like you did, the car will stand out no matter what. I like it, got any pics from the front?

I have my wheels on the car now, I will/NEED to post pics soon, my car is looking sooooooooooooo dam good!

I LOVE ROH SNYPERS

 

I hate to hijack the thread for a moment but heres a bad one(sun coming in from wrong direction):

 

it has a single hoop...nothing more. i can find a few side shots but nothing interior wise.

 

It will look better once its lowered.. here is mine with the new 17" ROH Snypers

 

shaun, nice wheels, just like mine!!!!

Trans Am #5, again great looking car man, love it a lot! (old man from the 80's) he he


I grew up in the early 90's, so I am close to being an old 80's man, I guess that is why I love the 90-92 camaros so much?
