I know some people say we can use rims with a 5x120mm bolt pattern (stock is 5x120.65mm). If so, this opens up a lot of options for rim choices Has anyone actually tried this bolt pattern on a 93-97 Z28? Does it work?

And my other question is....
Summit sells a fiberglass ram air style hood by Harwood. Its model number HRD-12202

Here is a link to it in summit

Its the 93-97 bolt on ram air hood. I like how it looks but want other opinions if anyone knows how they fit, look, etc...

Thanks guys

 

That is actually the new BMW pattern, and yes they will fit. This really opens up your options when you go to www.tirerack.com

Just look at wheels for BMW '02 325 There are like 65 wheels to choose from.

 

i have a harwood hood on my car (94 t/a) and i do not recommend this hood. there were H U G E gaps (like 1 full inch)between the front edge of the hood, and the front bumper cover. it took major cutting and re-bonding new fiberglass at a pricey bodyshop to get mine to look like stock and close the gap. hood cost about 500 and it cost me another 600 to get it repaired and painted. it looks awesome now, but if i had to do it over i would not go near anything Harwood.

btw, i'm not the first to have these problems either...i later found out many others had the same issues as i did.

you've been warned

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

no problem!

try the SLP or ASCD hoods. i've heard mostly good feedback from owners of those two brands.

good luck.

 

I have the Harwood hood on my 94 Formula and it does not line up. I have the same gaps and things like that. At first I though it was just my car but others have said they have the same problems so I do not recommond that hood.

 

I have a Harwood Cowl Hood on my 94 Z28 and it fits good. Hood was in great shape and didn't require a lot of prep work. I have nothing but good things to say about the Harwood hood.

Maybe I was just lucky but my hood is great. I had the hood painted at a shop that had just done a Suncoast hood and they said the Harwood was in much better shape, and it even fit better.

 

I also have a HARWOOD Ram Air HOOD. It fit GREAT and didn't require a lot of work to install. I get lots of compliments on it and lots of second looks. My car is STILL in the project stage, but you can check out the hood at:

Well it seems as though the trans am hoods dont fit, but the camaro ones do?

Tscandal, the hood looks good. Does it go through to the engine compartment or is it blocked off so no water or anything gets in there?

 

It's Blocked off from the factory. It would be VERY VERY easy to OPEN IT though. If it were open, it would get rid of a lot of HOT AIR and that would be a GOOD THING. *(idea) Some early style Z/28 badges on each side of this hood would be a definite head-turning option also. I'm considering that for my car's Harwood hood right now.

 

OH! By the way. Jack-Z is correct on that BMW reply. The choice of rims listed for the late model Camaro were limited by the wheel companies, but once I started asking for BMW wheels, the whole WORLD of wheels started to open up to me. Finally went with some BMW (20's) TWENTY-Inch wheels and 245/35's on the front and 275/30's on the rear.

Just ask for the BMW wheels but you'd better also ask for the right OFFSET or all will be BAD once you get 'Em.
(The 5x120mm bolt pattern will work)

What year bimmer wheels fit?

 

Holy crap, I have to say that is probably the ugliest camaro I've ever seen. The reason you prolly get "second looks" is becuase they couldn't believe someone actually did that to what could have been such a sweet looking machine. To each their own I guess. *thumbs down*

On the other hand, sweet bike tho...say no to CRAK!

I usually don't get into matters of personal taste, but I have to agree, this is hideous. Fortunately most all of it is bolt-on so it could be restored to its former beauty without too much work or money spent

 

Clubbin, I have some wheels and tires if you're interested.....they're not Bimmer wheels but you might like them. Email me if you're interested
