Vette Rims

Im looking to get the c5 chrome vette rims.

I was thinking about going 18s in the back and 17s in the front.

Do you guys think those would look good on my car? 02 Pewter Camaro...

I found this link on ebay for these replicas...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2425798767

Anyone know if thats a good deal or if its garbage? Also, how much would non-replicas cost, and is there anywhere I could find someone trying to sell theres and upgrade to new rims?

thanks

Those would definately look good, here is some pics of some on a silver LS1.

I think you should get 18s all the way around though, it will look much better. That price on ebay is pretty good, if you want some OEMs check out Corvetter Forums . There are guys over there selling there "crappy" stock rims for HRE's all the time.

17 and 18 staggered do not look that great on fbodies....the vettes are slanted forward and have a long hood, which is why they look normal.

For my TA, I went with 18's all around, high-po Y2K's.

9.5 and 10.5 are the widths of the wheels. I would get 18x9.5 all the way around. You wont have any fitment issues and you will save a few bucks on tires as well.

Exactly.
I've seen ones with 17s in front and 18s in back...it doesn't look as good. I decided to go with 18s all around and I'm happy with it.

NICE rims!!! Esp on a camaro. Getting a hard-on just by looking at it.
BTW, do they have it in 19" ? Planning on doing 18x9.5 front, 19x11.5 back.
