rims, what are your thoughts?

what do you think about 18" rims on thirdgens...........?

18 or 17??

I can appreciate a nicely placed 18" rim on a ThirdGen that is lowered enough. I'd never do it myself since we live here in Michigan and I like driving from A to B without any bent or dented rims. I-75 around here is 2 months old and there are already HOLES documented larger in diameter than man-hole covers. Tire selection is not as good as the 17" market. The handling aspect isn't any better either and i'm kind of into that area.

I choose 17" of course. Something different. A Snowflake 10 spoke SS rim would be beautiful in silver but your car is anti silver:cool: You would be doing chrome, correct?

Goodluck!

I would go with the 17's if you drive alot.

18's if your cars a weekender.

I personally went with the 17 beacause tires are somewhat cheaper, (if you want to call G-Force T/A's cheap :)

My 17's look great, and now the look even better with the sportlines. There about a 2-finger gap between the front fender and the tire, and about a 2.5 finger gap in the rear.

Now the real question is what style rim???

I have 17 IROCS, I think that the 17 and 18 crager SS style looks good on third gens, and also the ROH Snypers.

But its a hard choice :cool:

well i'm looking at z06 or SS 10-spoke.

yeah the car is kinda anti-silver denny.......:D

only reason i've been considering the 18's is if i go with the vette rims. the little bit that extends the spoke makes the wheel look nicer. but, i won't go with either of them if i can't make them fit right.

the wheel absolutely must stay in the stock dimensions as when looking at them from the outside. i don't want them sticking out or to far in the well in any way. how would i go about making sure of this?

denny........you must have a solution? :)

Personally I'd have to go with 17's myself. I'm not a huge fan of "ricing" out domestic cars, especially Camaros. 18's are cool though if they are Vette rims.

Eureka!!!!!:eek: I've stumbled across an idea! :eek: Copy what someone else has done like me:D When I got my rims, there were only 2 cars on the net with them that i could find. Andris Skulte had a set had and he also had a pic from a customer who also had them. They looked perfect so SNAG i got a set and off I went. There are roughly 37000 people with the rims now:D They all look perfect, hehe.

You're going to have to do some measuring, borrowing, don't steal, some testing...etc 4th gen 10 spoke rims will fit easier i'd assume than a vette rim. I've seen the 10 spoke SS rim on a 92 RS before and it was very nice but info on how they were put on is not something i know:( Keep searchin' the net. Possibly just have FIKSE make you a set?:D I'm sure they have dimensions that suit a perfect stance.

You thinking about doing a wide body kit also?:p hehe jk!

cragar makes a sweeeet SS rim in 18X9 i think :bow: :bow:

just so you know when you go to 18's there are a lot less options on what kind of wet weather tires you can buy also a big price difference for the zr's.

$200 on the tires and 10 lbs more on the rim each for what i'm looking at to go to 18"(not worth it). i changed my original ideas and i'm going to go with a billet 17 and a 40 series tire.

should give a nice look to the car hopefully.

thanks guys, i appreciate the suggestions! :)
