Vette Rims
Im looking to get the c5 chrome vette rims.
I was thinking about going 18s in the back and 17s in the front.
Do you guys think those would look good on my car? 02 Pewter Camaro...
I found this link on ebay for these replicas...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2425798767
Anyone know if thats a good deal or if its garbage? Also, how much would non-replicas cost, and is there anywhere I could find someone trying to sell theres and upgrade to new rims?
thanks

I think you should get 18s all the way around though, it will look much better. That price on ebay is pretty good, if you want some OEMs check out Corvetter Forums . There are guys over there selling there "crappy" stock rims for HRE's all the time.

17 and 18 staggered do not look that great on fbodies....the vettes are slanted forward and have a long hood, which is why they look normal.
For my TA, I went with 18's all around, high-po Y2K's.

I've seen ones with 17s in front and 18s in back...it doesn't look as good. I decided to go with 18s all around and I'm happy with it.
