Question Z28 (3rd Gen) wheels..suggestions

Can you folks give me some suggestions for a good looking set of wheels to put on a 1984 Z 28. Pictures & Brands would be welcomed. Thanks!

We have specific forums for specific topics... "Wheels and Tires" is one of them. I'll move your post there. While you are there, look over the beginnings of an FAQ, and try the "search" function. People are continuously posting pictures of their wheels.

Re: Z 28 wheels..suggestions

What's your budget???

Fikse
Simmons
Boze
IForged
HRE
Budnik
Kinesis
CCW

Might want to start there. If you decide that those are a little too rich for your blood, then I'd look at guys like Centerline, Torque Thrust (don't remember who makes it), Roh, or perhaps some of the OEM wheel makers. I've always liked the simplicity of Weld draglites, dragstars, etc., on the 3rd gen but that's just me.

Re: Z 28 wheels..suggestions

i'm not a big fan of that style either but it's all personal choice. i prefer the more low profile stance that a 17 or 18 will give you.

it would probably help to know what your looking for as far as apperance and budget range.

He asked for suggestions. I suggested not to get those rims and I chose to express my opinion using emoticons. Go roll your eyes at someone else.

I suppose the above two reactions to my statements were constructive? Whatever. For what it's worth Dupont, I think Sportmax's "962" wheel compliments the 3rd gen's body very well. So well in fact, that I plan on getting a set in a few weeks. By the way , I noticed you have very good taste in race car drivers...

Sportmax 962
