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

CALL911 04-04-2007 09:18 AM

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.

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.

qwikz28 04-05-2007 08:54 AM

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 04-05-2007 11:12 AM

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.

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

CALL911 04-07-2007 10:27 PM

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

CALL911 04-07-2007 10:46 PM

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
