I would like to hear/see some suggestions for rims. I have the OEM chrome 16 in. rims. It will be time to replace the tires soon ( hope to make it past the 1st of the year). I was thinking of upgading to 17 in. rims and 275/40/ZR17 tires. Chrome or polished look excellent with my paint color(see sig). I was thinking of American Racings 200S. But to be honest, I don't relish the idea of constantly polishing them. ZR1 from SLP are chrome. They look nice, but those rims are really yesterdays news.

I would like to see what everyone else may have or be considering presently. Price is a consideration, but looking is free.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Already posted in the appearence section. Not much of a response. Thought I would try here. Since my car is a LS1 4th. gen.

 

Chrome Z06 rims are what i want....but i dont have the cash for them right now

They're far from cheap but the FM/5s are the best looking wheels I've ever seen.

I believe they're about $650-700 a piece (for the 17x9.5).

 

Chrome Z06
then 96-98 Camaro SS 5 spoke painted wheel

then third 00-02 Camaro SS wheels (chrome or painted)

 

Here is what the ROH RT's looked like on my previous F-body.

I love my Fikse Fm/5's

 

Z06 Motorsport wheels.


if i only had the money

 

The only ones I'm considering for my car are the chrome 10-spoke SS rims.

There's just something in them which appeals to me...

Then maybe Z06's. Genuine or replica, doesn't matter to me.

Have to be chrome, though!

I personally just want black wheels.. fits with my all black car.. Either black powder coated or black anodized would be best..

Yes.. I shall do that some day.. some day soon.. hmm.. but I prefer 5 spoke wheels like the C5s run.. Thin spokes.. hard to find in 16" wheels tho.. I dont want 17's.

 

Thanks everyone. Keep those opinions coming.

I have a question which is a little off topic. How does the weight of Z06 and 10 spoke SS wheels compare to ZR1 wheels ( 96 - 99? SS) Thanks again.

 

I like the C5 wheels, they are just clean, crisp, simple, and cheap. Not a big fan of the Z06 wheels though, not sure why.

 

i have the C5s they look great, lots of compliments, the other wheels i've seen posted are nice too. Chrome is wonderful, i just wipe off the brake dust with my finger, no cleaner no water. But retro, don't spend too much money on them. Z06s are a steal, some how they cost less than C5s. I wouldn't get the ZR71s cause they are "yesterdays news" also depends on the look u want ur car to have.

 

HRE 545's look best IMHO
