Thumbs up Show me your Wheels!

Custom Wheels

Hey guys! I havent posted in a long time. I was going to sell my 87 camaro . I couldn't do it . So I'm going to slowly start the modifications. Before I turn my 180hp puppy into a 350+hp pit bull I want to make her look nice. I know some of you might reply with "you moding opposite", but thats just how i want to go. First thing I want to do is get my ugly *** HUBCAPS off of my car. Im looking for some 'airy' wheels for about 100$ a pop. What I'm asking of you guys is to get me pointed in the right direction. Just post either images or links to some of the most bad *** rims rims I can get for AROUND 100$. Thanks a lot enthusiasts!

-Dave

um....how about none.

$100 for all 4 or just 1....either way you still can't have even the better stock versions for that price.

I mean 100$ for each wheel. And thats an average. If the wheels are nice enough I will spend up to $200 each (that will just make it a little harder) Anyway, let me hear some responce.

I knew a reply like that would come. If you could only see what i have on there now you would completly agree with me. I want to get some nice wheels on my car. It needs a new paint job too but i will wait for that. After the wheels go on i want to gut the car of everything i dont need and clean up the engine bay. Thanks for the reply though.

Cragars are mad availiable, I got mine from summit, cheaper than a wheel store and they deliver them right to your door for free. Be wary though you need to have shocks that are in good shape to have rims and tires as big as mine on the back. If your shocks are worn every time you hit a bump they will rub.

Or you could get some Moog cargo coils which give you an extra 2" in the back.

Ok now you got me interested, mine sit high enough when the shocks are good they only hit on bumps but where can I get those. Are they srpings or coil-over shocks? I was thinking I could just get a sligtly taller set of srpings and be done with the situation
