Nice Cheap Wheels for 3rd gens ?

i've been looking for a nice cheap set of wheels for my 3rd gen camaro, but its almost like they are impossible to come by...i find some good ones for cheap, like the 077 eagle's on ebay 18" with tires for just under a grand...but they are all for 4th gen cars so i gotta get spacers and thats another 400 bucks...i would like to have at least a 17" combination but it would be ncie to have 18's...what do you guys run on youjr thirdgen's for rims???

basicly you could look for a good set of used wheels on ebay or on various classified sections if you wanted 17 or 18 inch wheels for cheap... I went for gta crosslace wheels since I was able to find them in the junkyard for anywhere between 17 and 35 bucks a pop...

17" snypers or zr1 rims r always pretty.

u can get the zr1s in 17x8 made for thirdgens so u wont need spacers for $700 american off hawks. and not sure where u can get the snypers but they come in 17x8 and 17x9 i think? i hear theyre pretty cheap too, anyone who has them can chime in here .

ZR1 Rims


ROH Snypers


cant go wrong with 5 spoke!

The ROH sell for about $205 a pop. Not too bad considering that they are SWEEEEET.

I got some nice rims from Jegs. They're Cragar Street Stars. Only bad thing is that they don't come in anything larger than 15s, and they need special lug nuts.
