Fikse FM5s (http://www.fikse.com/2010/classic.html) :drool:
Price varies based on size and finish, but they aren't cheap.

I would do Chrome (aka polished )or gunmetal c5 deep dish that oewheels sells.
17 front will a small lip then a 18 rear with a good 2-3" lip since you like the fm5s

18 inch tires are scarce and expensive. Staggered means no rotating too.

I'm a fan of C5 Z06s.. especially the chrome ones. C5 Thin spokes are also sweet, C4 ZR1s are ugly IMO.

10-10-2011, 09:45 PM
don't like chrome C6Zs?
I'd leave it; black won't compliment that paint as well as a polished/chrome would. I'm personally not crazy about C5Z & C4 ZR1 wheels.
If you're hell-bent on those 4 options though, I'd go with the C4 ZR1s.
If not, take a closer look at the C6Z06 wheels and the C5 thin-spokes, both in a polished or chrome finish.

had tints but got rid of them, got pulled over to much:|
c6zs look funny in 17in. im not too fond of rims with big open gaps and thin spokes, c5zs are an exception though

I LOVE C6 Z06s and reaaaaalllyyy like the the ZR1s for C6s. And black is silly on this car, agreed.

If you go ccw classics get them with center caps.. just fyi the older race versions don't come with em or else I'd have a set..

How much you looking to spend on chrome 10 spokes? I know someone that was selling some. I can try to find out if he still has them...

i would go 600 total, i dont need them with tires and i would be willing to trade my standard ones with cash or just cash if he would like. if you could ask him thatd be appreciated8-)

You could do alot better than OEM Camaro rims for 600..

The gray/graphite would look amazing!You could do alot better than OEM Camaro rims for 600..
At this point of time I think its more rare to rind a camaro w/ stock wheels then it is to find one without vette wheels, combine that with a set of rare wheels and demand = high price..
and no ccw's or centercaps...yet

id pay up to 500 for a really nice set of LME wheels. honestly though your wheels are probably my second favorite ones. my top fav is the zr1 style.

I was thinking the same thing and paint them body color. I was curious what it might look like and yes this is very very crude so dont look at it too hard - MS Paint so it is what it is:rofl:.
-Lowered ~2"
-Inner rims painted body color - really thins them out and lightens them up.
-the tint was a joke but i hit save and dont have time to go back
-also its kind of a phontohunt now too because i was bored at work so crack a beer and find the other changes in the pic.

It doesnt look like you have an SS spoiler on there but its hard to see. If your tight on cash and want to freshen up the look that would be my next buy seeing as you already have the hood. iirc i got one for under 300 painted and it fit like a glove from ebay back in the day.
maybe i should get back to working today...

lol god you have some free time. i have photoshop but idk how to delete stuff, i can tint windows, lower stuff and change rim color though. like i said i like tints but to much tickets. i want to stay away from molesting nice rims and painting them colors. i rather just spend money and buy something new. i def want chrome though, ive decided that much
