Re: What wheels do you like the best on 93-97 body style?

I bought some new rims for my car because i like road racing and could use a bigger contact patch. Other than that, performance mods here we come! Then i will worry about swapping to a black leather interior.

**If you go with any wheels...id go to budnik or intro OR ask them to custom make a set for you...tell them what they want and most companies will do a one off set for you, or thats some experience of stories/pics ive seen.

I agree. My plan is to get a LS1 TA/Camaro (TA probably) as my next car. And I don't plan on doing anything to the apperance (hood maybe if it's non ram air) untill I have a exhaust, intake, and shifter (M6)

I just am doing minor mods on my car for the time being, because it's going to be a while before I get a new car.

Yeah, I know... It seems like everyone and thier brother has ZR-1's or Z06's, heck TT II's and C5's are very common on fbodys too. But, I have Salad Shooters so they are even more common than ZR1's and I personally love the looks of the ZR1's. That's why I voted ZR-1's.

The reason people replace their parts with factory part is because usually the factory makes the best looking parts. People say the SS hood is over done, So far in the 2 yrs of having my SS hood, i've only seen 1 other Camaro in person with an SS hood that wasn't an SS. So they aren't that popular. The same goes with wheels. People say Z06's are on every fbody or C5 wheels are. I've never seen another Fbody in person in my area that has ZO6's on it. The same thing with Y2K vette wheels. Most Camaros in my area just have some cheap *** aftermarket eagle wheels or some other no name brand. The only wheel that i would say is played out is the ZR-1. At my college alone there are at least 7 fbodies with them. Just because you see the wheels being popular on here it doesn't mean they are out every where. There are a lot of stock fbodies running around and it seems almost everyone i run into doesn't mod there car.

I think maybe it's all an internet thing. All we see are pics worth posting for others to view. Those pics that standout to us are the ones with the best looking rims, the TT2's, the ZR1's, etc. I personally have not seen enough fbodies in both the places I've lived (NorCal and SoCal) with the same rims as me (TT2's) to make me not want to have them.

i'm in the phoenix area and i see a ton of ZR-1's and Z06 wheels and C5 it's really just too played out like the stangs w/ the cobra R's all i'm saying is for the same price or a smidge more you can get some aftermarket wheels and really stand out.

so you're saying we should go buy aftermarket rims that look just like factory rims. Kind of like your rims that look just like Y2K vette wheels.

Re: What wheels do you like the best on 93-97 body style?

oh my wheels like like y2k because there a 5 star. sorry but no. mine the spokes don't go all the way to the outside of the wheel face unlike the y2k's which look hideous for that reason. mine the spokes are a lot more rounded. i say if you MUST get an oem wheel save the coin and get the magnesium wheels now those are dope and hardly any f-body has those wheels.

Does anyone have a website that has pics of our Camaros with the wheels listed in the poll on them?

Re: What wheels do you like the best on 93-97 body style?

I have some z06's and hence my vote. But now I like the z06R's even more. I have seen them in black with the rivets (and the lip I think as well) chromed. Sweet!

Oh and for the reply right above me, check out my sig...there are pics there.

ZR1's match our cars the best in my opinion. The Z06's can look good too, but don't blend as well as the ZR1's in my opinion.
