the mille miglia are really cheap if you dont have much to spend. i dont think they come in polish or chrome however. the camaro fitting version of the cobra R wheels is at http://www.performancewheeloutlet.co...ml?id=1&step=2 its called the milan. you can get them in 18x9 The price on these wheels is great too. Thinking about picking up a set myself. I think its a great 5 star design.

18x9.5 is good and so is 19x9.5 but tires are more expensive.
You can do 20's too with no problem.

For 18" wheels, 275x35 will keep the stock diameter of the wheel, not 285x35. For 19" I think it is 275x30 and for 20" you can't keep the stock diameter.

if your looking for a basic, inexpensive chrome 18 inch wheel check out the eagle alloy 063 wheel similar to the cobra r wheel their website address is www.aewheels.com.if you want something a little more flashy check out the mkw mk-9 wheel(18x8.5)probably gonna pay around $300/wheel,thats what we sell them for but they look nice though.

Moda R6's look damn nice; would there be any car adjustments necessary if I went with those? I'd get those, and then 285/35/18 tires? Any problems or complications?

I would look into the chrome SS or 18" Z06 rims like KwikSS has, those are some sweet wheels, but i like my chrome SS rims too. Also i personally like the Budnik Tillers.

Any ideas where I'd read up on the width, and the ability to keep the diameter unchanged? This is one of the deciding factors on which wheels I get.

Also, which tires do you guys recommend? I guess any type of low profile tire, I'm going to feel every bump on the road.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

Our bolt pattern is 120.65mm (5x4.75)

We can also use the BMW pattern, which is 120mm


(Not tryin to be a *******, just want this guy and future readers to get the right info)

So is it 275 or 285 wheel width where I don't have to change the speedometer?
