I'm thinking they look better on the 2014 than they would on my 88.

 

idk bro. the hard lines of the wheel and its angles would compliment very nicely with our cars, especially 91 92 cars... the 2014 camaro is even using some of our body lines you look close enough. i would love to have these mounted up on my white 92

 

That's the joy of individual ownership.

Everybody gets to have it his own way.

I will never be right with low profile tires on classic cars.
I groan at every episode of Overhaulin'
I understand Chip has wheels to sell - but it just doesn't look right - let alone is that skinny sidewalk appealing to me.

 

Ill second that they probably look better on the new Zs, but someone should photoshop one to see how it looks

 

305 tires would be a very tough front fit, not to mention that they would also be larger diameter - at least 2" taller than the 245-50-16 tires at 25.75"...

 

I like the wheels but dont like the taillights

 

I'd rather have the brakes than the wheels. Like the wheels... LOVE the brakes!

 

 

why not both lol
tires and wheels come in at 12 inches wide and 26 inch diameter.. i can run that in the back .. and i can run a narrower tire in front, i can always have the wheel cut down. im already run 26 inch tall tires anyway and already plan to go 12 inches wide in back and 10 up front, im already at 10 inch wides all the way around.. ii like running around road courses. and lower profile just tend to handle better and fit bigger brakes. but everyone likes there own thing and thats all cool...

 

Did what I can, If I spent more time on it the wheels would be a bit sharper and I could actually reference size of stock wheels vs these. But not bad for 3 AM boredom

I didn't think they would look too good on a thirdgen but after Photoshop I kinda like the style, just wish there was more tire and less wheel.
I am in the same boat as you W.E.G., makes it look like a stupid Escalade from L.A. with only 2" of visible rubber IMHO

 

Hmmm interesting look don't know if I like it or not lol

 

And thanks Dabesiv for the pic!

 

yea good job for a 3am knock out lol if i post a side shot of my car today or tomorrow, can you photoshop it?

 

You got it, cant promise beautiful results. it would be great to get a high quality photo of the wheels too but every " high def" photo I found of them got terribly pixelated when shrinking and so far the ones you see are the best. But a high quality photo of your car would be great. Or pm me and ill give my email you can send me an original pic file as it will edit better than one embeded in a website.

 

ok will do, thanks a bunch. ill take a side shot asap, and send it to you

 

Make sure to post the pic on here to see what it looks like

 

Interesting look. but I prefer chrome with more rubber showing. But then I'm an old guy with old school tastes!

 

i am doing some work on the camaro right now but its almost done so when i roll it out of the garage ill take a side shot or two

 

That would be interesting especially on your white camaro would most defiantly need a brake upgrade

Only issue I see is front might stick out idk what's the offset on those wheels

 

yea idk zach , might have to do some custom stuff, orrr maybe a wide body lol or pulled fenders idk lol but yet definently doing big brakes, 14 inch zr1 rotors and z06 calipers ,

 

Idk they look like a new version of srt4 neon rims.

 

sorry its taking so long to get up a pic to photoshop, car has been apart due to fuel problems and timing issues, but hopfully be back together today

 

I agree.

17's are my personal sweetspot for these cars. Those Z28 wheels look nice, I think if they were 18s they might look okay on our cars. But they're probably 20's or something.

 

the z28 wheels are 19in...i wish they were 18.. but 19 isnt bad for cornering

 

I definitely like it. Considering getting away from the GTA wheels now. Lets see when they will be available.

 

what do you guys think about putting them on this car after its painted again?

Leave your car alone! Looks fab enough lol

 

well thank you lol, i would like a concaved wheel though

 

Nick, this is what I have so far, can edit it more if needed.

 

i like them . due to the size of my photo it make the wheels look like 22s lol.. is there any way to make the wheels smaller or photo larger to compensate so it looks proportional? if it is too much work dont bother though, i dont want to take up your time

 

Size is easy to change, what is the size of your current wheels so I can compare and adjust.

 

current wheels ar 18 inch, thank you

 

It seems like the 2014 has a 3rd gen eske tail light treatment if you look at the way they wrap around the fenders.Wedge shape toward the front of the car.They dont have the grid design but I kinda see third gen cues.

 

i think your the first person other than myself to see it, or atleast mention it

 

Wishful thinking maybe lol.Could only hope the GM designers would take some of the 3rd gen styling into consideration for the 5th gen.

 

you should see the headlights, there realy is some third gen in there... really ;]

 

Alright, made them roughly an inch larger than yours( a little difficult with getting pixels to match perfectly haha) and added a little more rubber to make them look more fitting in the wheel well, tried to keep the spokes brighter so you can actually see the design of the wheel better too. Hope this is to your liking!!

 

thank you very much , i like the wheels now lets just hope i can eventualy get ahold of a set haha

 

Might as well grab the Recaros, and the brakes while your at it

They look pretty good on there.

 

It just wouldn't look as nice without them.

 

im either doin the c6 z06 brakes, the zl1 brakes, or these ones, with yellow calipers . i already have fixed back buckets in the car now but would eventually have them re done in leather and alcantara black... doors are already pleather and suede... which im going to redo them so everything comes from the same die lot... i figure yellow is good because to original dash badge and gauges are yellow and i like it... shift boot is suede with yellow double stitch also. i will be doing a back seat delete, and a full cage . with dimpled a pillar plates...im doing the zl1 hood piece but i am cutting it and altering it a little. and im in the prosses of making the revamped spoiler, kind of like my first one but wider... but still out of 2x2 twill carbon. and eventualy a removable front splitter.

any other sugestions or ideas i may have overlooked?

 

Looking good I need to head up there to check out the car some time after I finish mines ..

Corvette wheels look way better than the last one notice you painted the spoiler also

stay searching for brakes tho bigger the better lol ..ebay been having some good deals lately

 

yea i keep an eye on ebay but for all the parts will still add up... im thinking of getting the kit from flyinbye. 14 inch rotors and c6 calipers. you should see the struts im making. there bad ***. but i wont post pics till there done

 

I like the style of the wheel, but black definitely blends in with the tires and looks odd to me. Keep in mind that our wheels have almost the same black finish, but "pop" more in pictures for (I'm guessing) design reasons... Could just be me.

If you could get a set narrowed to 10" and stick a stock height 275-30-19 tire on it (with spacers), it would work. Problem is the cost, the narrowing, and the spacers - not really economical or useful to anyone other than 3rd geners.

 

if i narrowed the front to 10 and kept the back 12 it would still work. im going as wide as i can in the back... maybe 11.5? with 295 or 305 30 19

 

I agree my black set of wheels look good but blend into tire so I got some mettalic gunmetal matte plastidip coming ..I think im going to leave lip black a plastidip the center gunmetal or vice versa gunmetal lip black center

 

idk, i like it... with the right lighting it really looks badass.. wicked lol imo but to each there own.. mine use to be gloss black with brushed silver lip... satin looks better lol

 

Yea in certain light they look good but other times you cant see the wheel ..but im a sucker for matte gunmetal lol I do like black chrome ..seen some ccw wheels satin black center and black chrome lip ..

So when are you getting the wheels
