Trying To Decide What Wheels To Get

I am looking to buy new rims for my 92 camaro but i am undecided at the moment. I was wondering if some people can post some pics of their car and rims so i can better decide what i should get. The rims name and manufacturer and size would help also. Thanks in advance.

these questions pop up all the time, so if you search you'll find many topics with pics - Ive tagged one below with over 600 replies. It's all going to boild down to what you're looking to spend inthe end...you can get really cheap 18" wheels or you can pay 4000 dollars...no one can help you until you set a range

edit- the tag link wont work for some reason, but check page 7 of this forum (auto detailing and appearance) there's a topic called best rims for camaro and firebird

Am I the only one who thinks wheels above 16" on our cars looks goofy and too "dub" like, etc?

My car came stock with 16" rims. Thats why I went with 17". I never thought the TT II's would look that good on my car. But I love them and couldnt think of another rim to put on.
It is hard to pick just the right rim for your car, all you can do it look at pics. Unless you get a REAL NICE place that sells rims and then he brings them in for you to try on your car. I went to Belle tire and asked them to bring them in and let me try them out. They said they couldnt do that. Then I went to Discount and they did. So, they brought them in and I fell in love. But I had them send those back (16") and order me the 17" x 8" all the way around. Plus I got a killer deal which made it even better.
