Been thinking about chroming the originals. But I like the one of the members black Camaro with 20" in back and 18" in front. Which would mean buying a new aftermarket set that are already chromed. Any advise?

Re: Chrome my 2-vein Wheels, or get new ones.

personally........................i like the stock camaro wheel, and chroming it should look kickin, hell it looked good that cast color, but it kinda like the 15" or 16" ....... the bigger wheels just dont seem right on an older car, i got 15" on mine, got 15x8 on the back with meaty tires and 15x6 on the front with skinny tires, if i could find a set of stock in good shape i would ditch my aftermarkets but still try to get a little bit wider tire on the back, that 225/65 iisnt wide enough lol
----------
BTW if you chrome them post b4 and after pics please, or e mail to me

Ipersonally like the factory iroc wheels chromed or polished.I also like the look of larger wheels if the end result compliments the car.I guess for you Cali,the first step is figuring out what you really want for your car.original polished/chrome?or big wheels.
