Damn me! I want new rims AGAIN!!

Probably like my 15th wheel change but yeah...

Been thinking of something like

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...k+w%2FMach+Lip

or a

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...k+w%2FMach+Lip

Then again i do have the 18x9.5 Smoothie II's already.

The multi spoke designs are kinda catching my eye since i saw a sick Z28 the other day on some.

Given im not talking about buying either of the exact wheels mentioned above just 2 pics i saw that are similiar to what i like... I really do love deep inset wheels with fat lips on my car.

Well if you got the dough to keep buying new wheels then go for it. I really like the second ones. The ASA's, I'm thinking of getting wheels and I just might get those, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

If i were you i'd keep the rims you have.
I always thought Smoothie II's were the nicest rims ever made.

Re: Damn me! I want new rims AGAIN!!

Yeah i know that already. Like i said im not talking about either of those wheels in particulaur. I merely used them as a reference to the style of rim i was looking at.

I like the first ones better. While i do like multispokes on some things i havent realy seen to many camaros that they looked good on.

Re: Damn me! I want new rims AGAIN!!

I find it interesting that the name of the company for the wheels that you posted links for is called "ASA." There must be parallel universes in the wheel galaxy. Check these wheels out that are from a company called "AZA." They're very similar to the styles that you posted except they DO fit our cars:

AZA Z-2


This might look kinda sexy on a Camaro:

AZA Z-8


Different company, but still similar to the Motegi wheel. It sort've reminds me of what a deep dish ZR-1 wheel might look like:

Sport Max 962



They can be found here:

Ford, what wheels do you have now? (checked your CarDomain... can't figure out which ones, if any, are current)

The smoothie II's black with polished lip, 18"x9.5". Guess i need to update that site to make it easier to read.
