Rondell 18X8 front and 18X10 rear, can be found on Ebay. They come in 17's too. The rims would need adapters though IIRC as they are to large of an offset (made for BMW 5 and 7 series). Some day though...

these are going on my car even thoug no one likes them except for me. Its not a great job someone did it quickly and neither the discs or wheel are real. It was photochopped over a 16 inch wheel.

heres just the rim.

Uhh you might wanna check out this tread too https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=208085 you can look at the boyd website to see what kind those are. My favs are boyd hot rodders, tt II's, and whatever Kandied has on his car but i could never afford those. I like those enkei's alot too, but they need atleast a little dish in them, I dont think they would look good on our cars..

I like the Ronals and some of the Boyd's, like the Rodder and Tuner, but I've been starting to like these...they're Simmons three piece wheels, I think they'd look good on my black T/A with the center in gold, which is an option.

yea, all the nice 5 spoke wheels are so overplayed and such, im looking for a nice dished wheel with a nice "mesh" pattern.... somthing that would go good with the overall look of my car..

Some things are beyond me. Everyone seems to LoVe these wheels and i mean they look descent but i so totally dont think they fit out cars. I'm stuborn and very picky with what i like though so dont put too much thought into what i say.

I second the vote for 17x9 synpers. Those look absolutely awesome on 3rd gen Camaros. I'll always keep my original rims around, but I'm definitely getting a set of those.

They look great on your car, ShiftyCapone .
