The people spoke. My rims are history?

Alright, so which rims (edit:wheels) would look good on my car? I got tons of negative feedback on my rims(edit:wheels), but I like them and they are staying on unless...
If someone can point out a set of rims(edit:wheels) that's hot enough. I will make that my next mod after the engine swap guarenteed. Please no "Zell, don't change your rims(edit:wheels) because of others opinions" post. I have money to throw around and want to have some fun.

edit:okay wisea$$e$. I'm going to bed now, thanks for the input.

Well the rims looked ok, but the wheel wasnt very nice to look at ;)


But for a nice wheel (or rims as you reffer to them) go for the chrome Z06's :bow: they are jsut sexy.

:lol: wheres that picture explaining the difference between wheels and rims when ya need it?

I'm a fan of IForged (http://www.iforged.com/) wheels.

Found it :D

Zell, before you go shopping for wheels you oughta learn the difference between rims and wheels This Diagram (http://nate.cz28.com/images/00a.jpg) should help (courtesy of our very own kick Z tail out)

If you have money to throw around, and you like your rims, then the only logical thing to do is to keep your rims, and give me your money. :)

Check out some Z06 rims, they look really nice on Fbods, especially the 18's... I would probably go with 17s for myself because I don't want to deal with all the other sh*t you gotta do with 18's...17s are good enough for me with no comprimises.

If you can't find any, just ask people on here, a lot of people have them...

I was about to say the same thing!

Hard crowd :lol:

They'll grow on you though eventually :p

I've got a set of tail lights from an '01 for sale, that with new wheels, and that car would be bad ass. :D

Hell, salad shooters would look better than those wheels. ;) :D

I like them.

You got a lot of edges here and there with the hood, bodykit, and spoiler and the rims....errr wheels match the style pretty well. Some people just half ass their car and throw anything on there but yours went for a certain look and it worked. I also like the altezza tail lamps with that look.

im not sure i hate the wheels you have but i know i dont like them on a camaro.

money to throw around = www.hrewheels.com

...or go to your local bmw dealership and pick out your favorite m5 or m3 wheel.

Any chrome 5 spoke would look nice. Z06 wheels would also look nice. Your next mod should be to remove the altrezzas and wing.

If you read his website he said he already removed the Altezzas.

Anyways back to the topic if you have money to throw around get some HREs or IForged wheels. If you want the same look but want to save some money I suggest the Z06 Motorsport rims. Check these ones out in yellow (http://i14.ebayimg.com/01/i/00/fd/20/43_3.JPG), you can get them on ebay here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2473720480&category=43959&sspagename=WDVW) in whatever color you prefer. Can't go wrong with the chrome, but the black or yellow might also turn out good.

Anyone of those wheels....HRE, IForged, Z06M, etc will give your car a much more exotic and overall nicer look. Here are some examples of what you get when you combine nice cars with nice rims:
Example 1 (http://www.fast-autos.net/features/03sema/221.html) Example 2 (http://www.fast-autos.net/features/03sema/193.html) Example 3 (http://www.fast-autos.net/features/03sema/256.html) Example 4 (HRE Wheels) (http://www.fast-autos.net/features/03sema/201.html) Example 5 (http://www.fast-autos.net/features/03sema/284.html) Example 6 (yellow DUBs) (http://www.fast-autos.net/features/03sema/312.html)

Im having fun here you can tell :D Anyways I could go onforever but I think you get the picture. Post some pics up when you get the new wheels I am anxious to see how good your car will look.

20" torq thrust 2's always look good on camaros

These are a lot cheaper and still look good
you can get them cheaper but this is what they look like
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2473637344&category=43957

Here are my wheels. They were pretty cheap considering what wheels cost. I realy want those 20" torq thrust 2's though!

Yes you are right 20 inch TTs do look awesome on our cars. Here is an example of some on a Camaro:
Pic 1 (http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/appearance/camaro/18f20r3.jpg) Pic 2 (http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/appearance/camaro/18f20r2.jpg)
That particular car has 18s in the front and 20s in the rear.

I am glad you mentioned that because it leads me to another point I wanted to make. If you are going to get new rims for your car I would get 19s in the front and 20s in the rear. This is the best looking combination for Camaros with ground effects. If you notice the effect of the ground effects makes the wheel wells larger, thus dwarfing the wheels. This is why Camaros without GFX look good with 17s and 18s but if you have GFX I highly recommend going with 19s and 20s. Here are some more examples of what I am talking about:
Aircop40s car (19f/20r HREs): Pic 1 (http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/2/web/230000-230999/230109_2_full.jpg) Pic 2 (http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/2/web/230000-230999/230109_14_full.jpg)
Chuckys95s car (19f/20r IForged): Pic 1 (http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/12/web/324000-324999/324787_9_full.jpg) Pic 2 (http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/12/web/324000-324999/324787_10_full.jpg)
As you can see that combination fits the wheel wells perfectly once GFX are entered into the picture. I can tell you this much, as soon as I get the money my 18inch Z06 rims are gone.

I always thought the Fikse wheels were pretty tight:
http://www.fikse.com/yourcar/street56.html they've recently added race black and full polish to the finishes available.

Iforged has a cool site and some trick lookin' wheels, but I'm not sold on the design for my ride personally.

The again, I'm just sporting chromed 17x11 ZR1 rims... not cheap, but in comparison to HRE/Fiske/Iforged they start looking that way. :)

Just bringing this thread to the front so I can get more suggestion's. Didn't look through all of them but will soon.

I'm a big fan of AFS's ZR1 wheels. You can find them very cheap on e-bay.

Rims.... shims!!!! ketsup...catsup!!!!


"Nowadays" everybody says rims, yea it's wrong but you still know what the person is talkin about. Sheeeeezzz!!!!


Zell, I always thought your car needed something different to bring your Vizage kit out (not that your rims were bad). You need some 19x8.5 front and some 20x10 rear. Any thin 5 star (ex. HRE, motegi etc..) would look nice. Just get anything with a lip and your whole car is gonna look different, trust me!!!! You put too much work into the appearance not to have rims that compliment the whole scheme.

ROH wheels! (http://www.msnusers.com/1995Z28pictures/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=3)

Clean, simple, and not too expensive!:thumb:

P.S. Not my #1 favorite, but they came on the car when I bought it.

blue89bird:I've got a set of tail lights from an '01 for sale, that with new wheels, and that car would be bad ass.

I'm back to stock taillights for now, but I'm waiting for those damn c5 taillights to get finished. That was the reason I became a member of this site.

jilly:Hell, salad shooters would look better than those wheels.

My response:See your sig.;) :D

You know I've said many times I think the car looks kind of funny in the pics, but in person I think it catches the eye much better IMO. Thanks

Right now I'm kind of feelin chucky95s iforges. Those just might...

I agree with stangkilla that I need bigger wheels in the back

the only thing those wheels have for them is they are different. I am not crazy about them but at least you wont see them on another FBody. What ever you do dont get ZR1s or Z06s or TTIIs. I do like all these wheels but they are all way over done. Half the people on this board have them. Your car has a Unique look esp with the yellow paint. I say keep it original. Fikse's and HREs are SO BAD ASS! Or look into some billet wheels.
