Must.... find.... new.... rims!!!

[enRo]

Throw some ideas at me. I dont want any type of OEM/Vette Rims, but Im looking for a black w/chrome-machined lip. Ill do 315's in the back since my car is getting raised back to stock height, making them tolerable for NJ roads... any ideas?

I like the TTM's so far, I need more opinions.

[ar0ck]

TTM's in 18" with a 295 rear tire and do the hose trick in the rear if your going back to stock height so that it levels the rear out a bit and its not "lifted"

they only make them in 17" im prolly going with them on my ta as well... other then that theres not much that you can fit a 315 on unless u want to spend 2g's +

I coulda sworn I saw it in the 2007-2008 American Racing Catalog I had at work. Maybe I was thinking of the regular Tourqe Thrust.


How about Privat wheels?

I like the Privat Profil rims, I think they would look nice in 18x9.5

MAKE SURE YOU GET 5X4.75. NOT 5X120!!!

noah, be a champ and step it up to some big dawg wheels like fiske and such. you could even find a used set on tech with tires for less then 3k

3k... id rather buy something else :lol: Fikse are nice and all, but I wouldnt spend 3G's on rims.

[qwikz28]

just look for a good quality lightweight wheel. the wheel selection for our cars sucks. i got a set of OZ wheels and they are super light weight and look pretty good. start thinking outside the box and something will come up

What about Gunmetal Grey Z06's? Here's a pic with them on my car. They were 17X9.5's (now they are sold, and I will be putting on 18's this spring).

[lastcall190]

You need my stock 16s... real bad.

I found an old pic of 911s car and realized how GOOD the gunmetal Z06s look and wish they were bigger, I'd have bought 'em hahaha

I would lean towards the ZR1s myself, on camaros they look right at home.

Nope. I'll be getting some totally different non-OEM wheels. 18X9 up front, and 18X10 in the rear. I'm not telling people what I am going with until I have them on the car, and I can let it speak for itself 8-)

[CALL911]

Here's my favorite pic of Rebels on an F-body.

i gotta say they look a lot better there than they do on tirerack

[enRo]

Rebels only come in 8.5???? Yikes... i mind as well stay with my stockers :rofl:

God i love that hood, wish they had one for my car....

[CALL911]

Yeah, I love the whole body package that is on his ride, it looks sweet! If you are set on ZR1's, check out these gunmetal grey ones. They look even better on a black car.

I thought about getting them, but i wanted to black out the car...but now actually seeing them on a car, they look quit nice actually, hm....

[enRo]

Ughh... ZR1's ... yuck. Played out.

[lastcall190]

FM5s black center polished lip... Or some CCWs black center polished lip.

hmmm rebels come in 18x9 and 18x10 so maybe its them?

I looked at the Rebels for a while, but decided I didn't want black or chrome wheels. Nope, they will be something other than the Rebels :mrgreen:

I'll have pics up of them in another month when I go home to get my Z.

the fact of the matter is, with our cars, the wheel choice sucks. all the oem wheels are played out, all the nice wheels are expensive, and the nice aftermarket wheels are usually only in BMW bolt pattern. you gotta get creative if you want a blend of the three. i bought OZ wheels that you would usually see on a WRX. they are inexpensive, lightweight, and the correct bolt pattern. everyone is gonna make the rice comments but the fact is is that i like them and they are awesome quality, light weight, and they fit the style i'm going for.

what i'm trying to say is look beyond whats usually been done and look at wheel sites as opposed to forums. thats the way to stand out and get something nice and creative. also, be familiar with offsets and all those numbers so you have other search criteria besides searching what wheels will fit a 2001 camaro cause chances are, those are usually only good at producing limited results

[CALL911]

I have to disagree with quikz28's comment that the wheel selection for our cars suck. There are countless options for our cars, ranging from the different styles of different OEM wheels, to a broad selection of aftermarket ones. You think there aren't many wheels for 4th Gen F-bodies!? Try finding aftermarket wheels for a Nissan 300Z, or even a Mazda RX-7. You will find that we 4th Gen F-body owners have a much better selection than most other sports cars on the market.

lol they are OZ racing wheels, not OEM subaru wheels. i was trying to say that those wheels are often seen on WRXs as opposed to fbodies :cheers:

budniks are sweet but 2600 minimum for a set i already looked :cry:

[CALL911]

There are some absolutly stunning wheel options out there. Unfortunatly, a lot of the really awesome looking ones are REALLY expensive.

[CALL911]

Here's 3 prime examples of stunning wheel options for 4th Gen F-bodies, but all are out of most people's price range (myself included)

1. I Forged Aero's

2. Fikse FM5's
