Please help me with my rims
okay im looking to put new rims on my car soon, but i dont know what i want, not a fan of the rounded 5 spoke american racing ones cuz i really dont think they fit our cars, we broke out of the traditional muscle look and those rims just dont appeal to me, anyone have pics of a nice set of rims? im thinking 17" ZR1's or C6's i dont know yet i just want multiple ideas and opinions because i cant decide on a look. My budget is pretty flexible i have like $600 at my disposal in the average month but lets not go overboard here, im not droppin an insane amount of $ for some rims lol post up some pix, photoshopped or not i dont care, what do you think would work with my car?
heres some pics

heres some pics

Not a camaro, but, they look cool...
Dont ask me what they are because I don't know, they came with the car.

Re: Please help me with my rims
I like mine. I get a lot of compliments on them. I should have special ordered the 8in rears with a 4.5 backspacing but "live and learn". They only come in 15s though. American Racing AR-23`s There Painted and clear coated,

Re: Please help me with my rims
im refering to the aftermarket IROC RIMS are 16x8 17x8 or 18x8 and i think there are bigger ones but no bigger then 18 belongs on thirdgens....but the width is too narrow for my likings at only 8 inches, i like having 275/40/r17 tires on the back so thats too wide for the narrow 8 inch rim. thats why i have ZR1s 17x9.5 wide....

Re: Please help me with my rims
Remember, if you get larger rims you will be paying a bit more for tires.
----------
I think a set of polished IROC rims look good for how inexpensive they are.

Re: Please help me with my rims
dont believe they ever came in 17s stock, but the aftermarket chrome IROCs are nice in 17s just not very wide only 17x8 so u could only run 245s on them check out hawks i think they seel the rims...

Re: Please help me with my rims
If you want a certain design, but it doesn't come in the width you want, youu can always just get them widened.
Say, from a 8" to 11", or whatever.

Re: Please help me with my rims
Personally, and I guess it's what you like best, I think the 5 star rims look best, all the other shapes just don't look elegant to me... that first pic at the top of the thread, black with silver edge, tight
Just don't go to big, I guess that's personal preference too

Re: Please help me with my rims
If you can find them, I think the AR Ventura rims look real good on Camaro. If not polished IROC rims look real good too.
