Where did you buy your rims?

Entertaining the idea of getting different rims for my car, but I can't find anything I like. It seems that there's only 3 or 4 styles to choose from on every site I check. Where did you guys get your rims?

Depends on your price point. A lot of options open up if you're willing to spend $500+ per wheel.

And search by bolt pattern not the car. Very little is listed specifically for the car.

Got mine from Jegs, they have plenty of 15x7 and 15x8's in the Camaro bolt pattern.

Re: Where did you buy your rims?

I have a 91 Z that has American Racing Outlaw II wheels. I just bought the car a little bit ago and was going to look at replacing them with originals but they really have grown on me and now that I have them cleaned up (not in this pic) I really like the look.
I think you can get them in a lot of sizes and they are not too expensive.

Summit Racing for mine.
I went for the "Old School" Muscle Car look.


American Racing AR-23's.


They are polished , clear coated, aluminum alloy that only requires washing with soap and water and look as good today as when I bought them 10 years ago. There about $100.00 a piece.
