What kind of aftermarket wheels do you plan on using?

[JasonD]

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.

im thinking im going to go with HRE 948r all gloss black.maybe a polished lip. not sure. either in a 21" all the way around or 21 " up front and the 22" rears. id post a pic but i dont know how. sorry.

so you wanna know what were going with, but what about you? is it a secret?

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.

i need to find out the weight of the stock 20" before i buy anything. i have a few kinds in mind but im not buying unless they are lighter than stock.

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

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

Sorta.

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.

[2010_5thgen]

i got all the weights for the wheels and tires for the stock sizes. i posted it in the 21" and 20" wherels weights forum.

[blackoutj]

As Jason said the HRE's are forged I think that set goes for 6900 for 20" rims

[2010_5thgen]

i can get a set of 21" for around 7200.
