I don't care how many ppl weigh in. I want a clean 5 spoke wheel. I am looking for a 18/19 combo possibly 19/20 and the widest I can get for stock height that will also loo great with a 1in-1.5in drop in the future. I know that puts me close to 8in in the front and about 10in in the rear I love Sickness91Z28 (intros) but cant swing the price even in my wildest dreams so what shoes did you budget builders put on your cars that still made them look sick!!!!! to the bone. I'm saving so I'm a little ways off but I would love to get some ideas.

p.s
I seen someone with some size 3?? in the rear of theirs and it just looked awesome. lets see some of yours. I thought about so 91-92 z28 wheels 19/18 combo what do yall think?

 

$2000 budget. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/atta...0819-00322.jpg this is what is up there now. 15in they are fairly new just been sitting for awhile.

 

I'm going to suggest you look at an 18" wheel for all 4 corners on your car - wheels and tires are less expensive, it will ride better, and you will have less chance of damage from potholes and the like.

In terms of width, a 18" x 9.5" wheel with a 275-35-18 tire is going to be stock diameter (no issues with speedo as an example) and will give you 120mm more tire than the stock 245-50-16 can.

Is your budget just for wheels, or is it for both wheels and tires?

 

good point! I hadn't thought of that I guess just wheels the 15's that I have are brand new and I plan on wearing them out first and I wont be driving the car much anyway. and I see what your talking about the staggered fitments are more expensive and could lead to some other unknown purchases/fixes. ok. you got any rim suggestions?

 

found something http://www.camarotech.com/WheelsAndTires.html

 

do they make chrome concave c6 rims?

 

last time I bother yall for tonight but does anyone know where I can get these for a descent price? I seen them and fell for them right away. just wish they were in concave style.

Most of those "concave"(I really hate that term) 3 piece wheels are uncertified Chinese ripoff garbage. The parts shipped from China get bolted together here so they all say "Made in the USA" anyway but the truth is out there if you search for it. Just be careful. And yes, Im talking about the $4k-$10k sets.

Your best bet is to get some cheap repro wheels from oewheelsllc or something. They're not as good quality as OEM but they're usually not known for being weak or unsafe so much as being heavier. Ive seen a couple break in really, really high hp road race cars, but we're talking 750+hp on road race slicks. These guys also use proven factory designs, so that takes a big part of the strength question out of the equation.

Have you looked into Weld RTS? They're more functional than ostentatious, but they may fit the bill for you. They're still not cheap, but they're priced very well for what they are and they're VERY strong.

 

I don't care if I have to get them one at a time but I found a couple from oewheels that I do like.

hey vortex thx for the advice!

 

I cannot find the corvette grandsport wheels on a Camaro anywhere! help!!!!!

 

really like these too. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/ODk4WDE2MDA=/z/fEAAAOxywXFSdDpH/$(KGrHqZ,!nYFJ)Lb5jEtBSdDpGtiC!~~60_57.JPG

 

here you go

 

friggin sweet! I'm leaning toward the black chrome with my all white car w/red int. and the 18x8/19x10 split and later on maybe lowering car by 1.5-2in. that is friggin sweet. idk why more ppl haven't used them but I'm glad I guess you and I will be the only ones thx that's what I need to know. someone told me that the ones from oewheels will save me some money and are still just as strong so give me by the end of the summer and its on!

have you seen the gsport concepts look at the above post and copy and paste in your address bar. they are sweet too!

 

well it looks like the black chrome only comes in 19x12 in the rear. what to do? what to do?

 

My car is on lowering springs, also keep in mind I did the ls swap which is lighter then an old sbc block, so I may cut a half coil off the front and rear. Before I do this I'm waiting to see the car complete and on all four wheels then go from there.

 

my car is white with red trim stripes down the fenders and doors but I love the color of dark chrome and do plan on changing the color of the car later what do you guys think of the grandsport wheels in this color? http://www.oewheelsllc.com/oe-vette-grandsport-bc-2-p.jpg

 

ok ok ok did some honest digging and found out that the 19x12 idea is out the window. NO MINITUB! there is no way I'm hacking up my baby. so I guess the staggered look will be 18x8 and 19x9.5 and just get some wider tires for the rear. I still am looking for the gsports but will have to do some searching for someone to blackchrome them.

 

I like my c5's. Simple, 5 spoke, 275 in the rear. May have them powder coated gloss black when i have the car painted.

 

absolutely love the grandsports so I will be getting the 18x9's all around in black chrome
http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...t-black-chrome
and just putting diff. size tires on front to back. I guess? thx for posting pic. it looks awesome.

 

those should be sweet, get some pics when you do get them

 

finally some video .

 

loving this right now don't know if I would go soft or step lip. what do you guys think?

You could go with some Boss 338's like I have. 18X8 and 18X9.5
No fitment issues and I'm lowered about an inch.

 

nice

 

I really hate C5 wheels because they're always chrome. Yours look AMAZING in that soft metallic silver mixed with your flat black paint. Is that really nice looking primer, or is it legit flat black paint? Because it looks incredible. Please dont black out the wheels, they add a perfect contrast to the rest of the car. If they were some blingy chrome I'd say go for it, but that looks fantastic the way it is.

 

hey fellas do yall know anything about these I actually like them for a nice clean look till I can get what I really want? need a reply quick b/c tomorrow I go to pick them up if something is wrong I need to know quick. thx

What do you want to know about them? They are off of a 5th gen camaro. The 5th gens only had 2 styles in 18". These and the Steelies. Good price

 

bought them! I think they will look nice on there they look a lot like iroc's
