Question What kind of aftermarket wheels do you plan on using?

I am pretty much set on what I am going to get, but I'd like to see what other people plan on going with.

Post up some pics!

If someone plans on getting the base version with the steelie 18's and swapping them out, pm me.

I want to get a set and put them to the side for a project.


Otherwise, if I miraculously find a job and am able to get a new Cama next year, I'll get the base with the Steelies and swap them out for some 20's. I'll probably go with a Silver car with black stripes and black faced polished lip wheels.

Assuming I get a 5th gen and decide to upgrade the wheels, all I know is that I'd save up for some lightweight forged pieces. By the time I can afford to do that, who knows what will be available? So I don't see much point in shopping around, yet. (Although I like the look of those 590Rs above. HREs are forged, right?)

My guess is he's not allowed to say yet.

HREs are forged and they are like the Rolex of wheels.

My guess is he's not allowed to say yet.

I did the custom one-off wheel thing on my last Camaro. It was not as easy as people may think or should have been, but I am not going that route this time.

I won't keep it hush-hush forever, I am just developing my plan and will post it in my blog when it is starting to finalize.

As far as the info, there is usually a measuring session when a new car comes out, but none has been announced or it has been done already but was low-key.
