What kind of wheels would look best on my *87 sportcoupe? I want to find something that goes real well with the no ground effect look of my car

Post up a pic of the car. If you want guys to photoshop it, then make it a dead-on side view.
Browse through old posts here, and in Members' Camaros to see other examples.
I'm doing fine with the 15x7" aluminum 5-stars on my '86 V6, but in the above posts I've seen a dark gray '85-'88 without GFX running'85-'87 IROC-Z 16x8" wheels that looked good. I just think that it's dumb to run serious wheels without a serious engine, or I'd put those on my '86.

Re: What do you guys think?

This is one of my favorite photos of a Sport Coupe and belongs to a member here on this site.Hope he doesn't mind me using it. It is rolling on a set of BS Street Lites.I agree with ronnjonn about the wheels matching the ride and the wheels I just showed you is a perfect example. This car has what it takes to pull off a wheel like this.=

On another note, I would love to see a set of 5-Stars wheels on one of our Camaros.I guess the hunt is on.
