Re: Doobie Doobie Doo...
Dammit, i missed it too. I step away from the computer for a couple hours and look what happens. I miss something big.
Oh yes wheels. Not too many/not enough spokes. 5 is perfect. Something that doesn't cover up the rotor/caliper too much too.

I also like the salad shooters. Better than the 10-spokers my Zed came with.
But 5-spokes just look right on a high performance car. Even if a car has "heritage" styling (even if it has way too much heritage styling), the wheels should be contemporary.

I agree with jcamere94z28, those are pretty hot wheels. How about a dished wheel? Foose is making some great looking wheels right now. I heard he might be working with a f-body competitor for a wheel design...

I would think the z/28s wheels would be Forged aluminum, and be specific to the z/28. That is of course assuming that the z/28 is top, which is still not for sure. I think the wheels on the car in question that is causing such a stir on all the boards has nice wheels, but they don't seem to fit on a top Camaro. I have always liked the c5 y2k wheels, for the simpleness and the fact you get a nice look at the brake rotor and pads. This, of course, is all my opinion.
But that's what you get after waiting and talking almost 5 years on this board.
. Why do you care about wheels on an elephant anyways?
