18" replicas

 

C6 z06

 

Kept it "old school" and picked up a new set of American racing's AR23 wheels. 8" rear wheel with 255/60/15 Cooper Cobras and 7" front wheel with 235/60/15. Couldn't be happier. The backspacing brought the rear tires out to the edge of the fender lip where I wanted it, and the wider stance makes it feel more stable, especially in the twisty stuff. Loving this setup so far!

 

 

What Spacers and tire size did you go with? Also hoe is it lowered and what springs did you go with? Looks great. I have those wheels but have not put them on yet!

 

I like the Ronal R15 "Firehawks" myself....

 

Those look great. Where did you get them - are they the 17x9.5 hawks thirdgen ones?

Also, what size tires?

 

Thanks!

They are the same ones that Hawks carries, but I got them from Classic Industries since I had a discount code at the time I got them (30% off!!!).

Beware though... The white is cream next to Arctic White and I had to paint them.

Tires are BF Goodrich 275/40/17

 

Fan of the 17" Ronals myself!

 

probably not to everyones liking

 

 

they should work now

 

You intending on adding flares?

 

Yes

 

Hi there,
I don't necessarily think they are the best looking wheels, but I just finished my stock 15X7 Rally wheels, and I think they look nice. Better than they previously did.


Before...............................After

 

Nice job!

 

They look fantastic. Is your sport coupe a ttop by chance?

 

Hi there,
Not a T-top, just a hardtop. The car is a stripped-down, bare-bones V6 car, only 4 options on it. But it was all stock, and all there, so I just decided to restore it. Don't see many nice V6 cars anymore.


Here is my build-repair thread

Here's a different look. I'd like input on what you think.

 

Those look pretty nice. They remind me of Corvette or 4th gen Camaro wheels.

 

I appreciate the feedback. I'm looking for honest opinions and whether anyone recognizes them. They are factory pull offs but not Chevrolet or even domestic for that matter. I really like the look and stance but don't want it to be obvious where they come from.

18 x 8.5 front with 245/40
18 x 9.5 rear with 265/40

There is room for more tire at both ends. I think a 255/40 285/40 combo would be perfect. These are the tires I got with the wheels.

Here's a look down the side;



And another shot;

 

What are they replicas of?

 

Very nice!

 

I'm wondering if anyone gets it. Actually, they are replicas of M5 wheels. I thought they looked different than anything I had seen on a Camaro. I like the "5 spoke" styling on Camaros and the cross lace on Birds. These sort of mimic the IROC spokes in a unique way and add a bit of lip or dish. My fear is that some will only see the BMW style. Although I think the Camaro body and taller tires disguise them well.
I still think a taller, wider tire is in order to complete the look.

 

Always loved these

 

18s?
Not sure if it's the angle or if it would look better with larger wheels in the rear?
What mods would be required to make these fit?

 

I have to say Im very particular about rims on cars especially my Camaros but I tell you, that is one fine IROC, awesome color, and some awesome rims and tires!!!......Hows the TPI setup on those IROC's

 

Sneak peak

 

You can never go wrong with American Racing wheels. Thats an awesome ride. Love the car inside and out. Keeping it real (American Racing) is always the way to go...awesome wheels

 

Very cool Tony!

 

Yes 18s. Maybe it is the angle. Next size up would be 20s. I think someone on here put 20s on their camaro and it looks great. My setup only needed a 1.25" spacer up front.

 

They're commonly called BMW M-Parallels and were on the BMW E39 M5.

 

Those fit the Camaro very well

 

I will be getting these forgelines eventually for my GTA

 

+1

 

Fikse fm10 for the street, Weld rts for the track.

 

Always liked the FM10s...Looks great.

 

thoughts??? 18x10 for the Rs.R

 

Do it.

 

Ok you talked me into it

 

My 20" on my gta

 

Here's my 87TA with 17" CCW Classics

 

Nice! What width/offset? Any more pictures?

 

Too bad it looks like you cant make a WS6 center cap without some effort... Killer looking rims tho

 

US Mags 15X7 and 15X9

 

I could be wrong, but those look Very much like the Rims my E39 BMW has (originally came on the E38 7 series around 2001 )

 

Have to vote again for Ronal R15 Firehawks... Just got a set for my other 91Z...

 

What size tires you got on 'em?

 

Those look really good.

Couple of questions:

1) What model/year BMW did they come off of>

2) What are the widths and offsets?

3) What did you have to do to get them to work on the car?

 

275/40/17 All the way around.
