nice lookin car 91nite, but I really think you should go with 17 or if you do get 16s get them polished. I have seen chrome 16s in person and I think they look way to small and the chrome breakes the lines of the wheel up. you can get 17" tires for a decient price too if that is what you are woried about. Anywhere from $95 and up at tirerack.com for a 245/40/17. good luck.

thanks for the pic 91NiteRida', I know 18 would be better but I just bought 16inch tires 3 months ago and i would hate to have to buy some new one again,
I dont know... I think they look fine in 16 way better than what I have and I m getting the chrome 16 new for 400

so if i was to go with 18 and then get tires for them I would be at least 1200 or more

what do you think about it now knowing about my budget >?
and considering the price I can get them for

thanks for the pics again !!!

well my taste called for 18s even though it did break the bank...Not many people like bigger rims but im 19 and part of the newer generation where i like 22s and 24s..As for having 16s,i think they would look clean on your ride...It did on mine until i got my car repainted...It looked as if something was missing until i threw on the 18s...

As for the price,thats a hell of a deal if they are brand new....I bought my 18s for only 800 with tires but that was locally...If you get the 16s,make sure you get some pics...The chrome will set your ride off nicely

that sucks I m sorry, **** like that happened to me , I got my sound system stolenlike 2 months ago, man I was so happy about it...
, I had two 12s, a 1200w amp and an mp3 xplod unit,

so now I just dont have music in my car just to remind myself that if I see anybody breaking in my car I will go scarface style on the guy...

that s also why i dont spend to much on this car, but I get so much attention from it more than I would get with a jetta or a bmw 323 !!
( did I mention open headers blowing the walls out of my student appartment complex !!! )

I got the best compliment from a girl last weeek : quoting
" you re an *******, I hate camaros"

I ll stop here
