I'm going to be purchasing some inexpensive rims soon because I'm tired of the stockers as in I see them on every other teal Camaro around here. I'm going to get some 15x8's so I can keep my current tires because they are basically brand new. When these tires wear out I'll be able to save up enough money to buy some nice 18's and tires. But for the time being, I need opinions on which of these rims you like better.

Bart Stock Car Wheels

Cragar Black Soft 8 Wheels

Cragar Fluted Chrome Wheels

US Wheel Black Blade Wheels

US Wheel Chrome Blade Wheels

US Wheel Chrome 8-Spoke Wheels

US Wheel Black Modular Wheels

I'd really like to get black rim as it would match the theme I'm going with. I think I like the US Wheel Black Blade Wheels. I do like chrome, tough.

They aren't the best rims in the world, but $200 or less for a set they aren't that bad. I'm going to get the 15x8's. I tought about 15x10's in the back, but I'm worried my current tires wouldn't fit.

Summit doesn't list 16" in the black version of rim 4 , but they do for the chrome version. You might want to call them or email them to see if they make the black version in 16".

Yeah, 14 is just too small on a F-Body.

Think about this logically.

You're gonna blow a good wad of money on rims just to replace them with 18" rims later? How is that 'saving'?

Just suck it up with the stock wheels for now, you'll be able to get your 18" rims and tires that much sooner.
