My friend just bought a 79' camaro z28 and wants to know what wheels would look nice on it?

 

Outlaw II and Torque Thrust's are my favourites.

 

do you have any pics? Thanks

 

check my sig

 

Yeah, Talos has the rims I want. One of these days I'm gonna sneak over there and replace them with my Outlaw II's. Maybe he won't notice

Outlaw II's in my sig. I don't have any large pictures though... or any recent ones for that matter.

 

Weld Drag Lites. They'll weigh less = quicker ET.

 

Here is a pic of my 81 with Torque Thrust II's.

JST8A50,
where did you buy the torque thruster 2's from?those look damn good on that Z,i might have get a set of those!what size do you have(backspacing etc.)i was thinking of getting a set of 17's.i saw some 17"niche rims on a Z at a car show,it looked way better than i had thought it would.

 

Knuckle, unfortunately the wheels were not mine. They belonged to a friend that had them on his s10. The wheels in that picture are 17x8's with 4" of backspacing. The tires were 245/45/17. They fit absolutely perfect on the front but, looked way too small on the rear. Needs a 17x9 1/2 with 5" of B.S. and a 275/40/17 tire. He had 17x11's with 315/35/17's on the rear but, had too much b.s. to fit the Z. We just wanted to see what they would like and they looked damn good if you ask me.

 

I once put a set of 16" 3rd gen Camaro wheels on my 80 Z. It looked fantastic. Only gotcha is that you need 4 "Front" wheels. Or you could by a 1-1.5" wheel spacer for the rear. If you use standard "rear" wheels on the back of your car they will look too "tucked in" relative to the fronts. No, you can't put the "rears" onto the front of the car- they hit the steering knuckle.

Set of 255/50 tires look beefy but still "low profile." Not at all a "drag race" look. Much more of a "road race" look.

 

Ok i showded him the wheels and he's gonna get the Torque Thrust II's..........we both are clueless when it comes to getting all the requirements right so he wants to know if you guys can help him out and tell him where he can get the TT II's in 18 and all the correct backspacing and stuff like that.......and he said Thanks for the pics

 

you can get them from any tire shop. I have the same rimz mine are 16s/17s

but the TT2s are very very expensive!

Eagle Alloys makes a knock off though. and the crugerSS rimz just are not as nice.
