What wheels would make my 97 30th annv. look sweet?

1997 30th annv. camaro. White with the orange stripes. White 17x9.5 wheels on it. What wheels would you guys recommend? Also, what is the backspacing on my wheels incase I find some wheels that appeal to me. I like the centerline trigon wheels, but not sure how they would look on my car. What do you guys recommend.

Was just thinkin about bein different than others. But what I am looking for is a wheel made out of the Billet aluminum, high polish which looks like chrome, but won't chip like chrome can. What are you favorite wheels on my car with billet aluminum wheels?

Just get some Iforged Aero or HRE wheels.

White motorsport Z06's would look good too, with a polished lip.

Since you're talking about billet wheels, I suppose you are ready to throw down some cash? First off, check out Billet Specialties. Since they make every wheel to order, you can get the offset you need on just about any style.

My personal favorites on an F-Body? SLP54, GTX10, GTX35 (aka Talladega), GTX40 (aka Pomona), GTX70 (aka Octane), and my personal favorite, the Chi-Cayne. That should get your search started - they also have some Z06 "Style" wheels.

Same here.

I couldnt find any of the white 17's so I went with the white 16's on my car just trying to replicate the look of yours.

If you are gonna start ripping those trick 30th Anniversary parts off that car for some polished Centerline BS, Please sell it to someone that can appreciate it and buy a white Z w/a $125 stripe kit..

I'm really happy with my 2000 chrome thin spoke Vette replicas, but if i had the money i love the Torque thrust wheels, they are really nice. Fingers
