Need qujck help with z06 rims...

Hey guys

Im possibly going to be purchasing chrome z06 rims for my 02 camaro (pewter)

2 18x9.5
2 18x10.5

Are these good sizings for my camaro? or will they not fit?


for around 900 including shipping... Is this a good price? They have the engraved center caps.


Heres a pic of them...

thanks

I thought you were gonna get the C5 thin spokes? You change your mind quick don't you. I have the Z06 rims in 18x9.5 all the way around. Paid $1200 for the rims AND tires. Check AFS on ebay...the 2 most recent auctions ended for $1180 and another one for $1225 . There is one about to end in an hour or so that is at $1050 . For pics of Z06 rims on LS1's check out this site: LS1s w/ Z06 rims . Good luck in your decision!

thanks for the reply, I PMed ya to ask if ya had an AIM name... if not. do you have any pics or links for the y2k rims for ebay, ect...

Im really not sure which to get...

Is 1200 with tires good for either rim? Are the tires AFS uses good?

Thanks

$1200 is a great price I am very happy with what I paid. The tires are Kuhmos and I think they are great. They are Z rated for speed and AA rated for traction which is the best possible score. AFS does not sell the Y2K style rims so you will be hard pressed to find as good a deal as you can get on the Z06 rims.

Sounds like a great price to me!, my local wheel establishment
wants $1125 for just the wheels ( OE concepts)...
my SS is pewter metallic & these are the wheels I'm
wanting too. So the 17 x 9.5 should fit with no problems?
( my tires are Kumho Supra's 275x40x17)

17x9.5 will fit fine though if thats what you want....I think 18s look way better, but thats just me!

Do you have your wheels on yet? I just bought the same set up, 18x9.5 chrome Z06's with Kumho tires...pre-balanced for $1000 shipped...

Any problems with the 9.5" in the front?

$1000 shipped, that is an awesome price man! Where did you get em from? BTW I do have mine on, put em on myself and they fit perfect. Make sure to get the chrome lugs, the stock lugs look like crap!

I was one of the higher bidders on one of the eBay auctions and I missed it at the last second. This guy saw that I was one of the higher bidders and he shot me an e-mail offering the Wheels and tires to me brand new for $1100 + shipping.

Anywho, he needed the money asap so I offered him $1000 shipped and he took it...so needless to say I'm pretty happy with my purchase...



So bigdreamz...no issues with the from wheel wells after installation?

Thanks!
