rims
 

ok so im looking for a set of rims for my new '99...the car is NBM and i was thinking chrome c6 zo6's but does anyone else have any suggestions..maybe something a little cheaper and easier to find

Chrome ZR1's are always good...

I would go with your original suggestion of chrome ZO-6's. :mrgreen:

I've seen a couple 98+ Firebirds online with chrome ZR1's and they look pretty good.

my friend has black w/chrome lip on his pewter formula and it looks nice...but idk if like black colored rims would work on a NBM car


photoshop anyone?

black on NBM looks stupid IMO...id go with chrome C5 Z06s

are you thinking of going 17s or 18s? I actually dont really have any suggestions for 17s becuase there are very few i like. most are expensive i.e. Fikse. If you want 18s, well i obviously would suggest chrome C6s. I love the look of simple five spoke wheels with NO lip. But chrome C6 Z06s would be my second suggestion.
C5 Z06s are ugly on anything other than a C5 Z06 and WAY played out.

While I agree that they are very abundant on F-bodies, it really comes down to what he likes.

Personally I don't think the Z06 rims look bad, and theres are a ton of people selling them in this board alone so theres your cheaper alternative

Please get something other than the typical Z06/ZR1 Corvette wheels.

imo an argent colored wheel or gunmetal wheel looks best on NMB... theres a guy on ls1tech with a NBM camaro with argent colored c5 zo6 wheels i think they are 18x10.5 inthe back 18x9.5 in the front ... it looks really really good imo... did you think about c5 zo6's???

if this is your dd, the main question that should be asked is "Is it going to see poor weather? i.e. rain/sleet/snow/etc."

if so, I'd stay away from chrome

my favorite are torque thrusts. either chrome or gunmetal.

its gonna see some rain but thats about it....im thinking gunmetal zr1's or still the c6 z06's right now

ss 10 spokes chrome

I had polished ZR1s on my Formula. I liked 'em, if I had to do it again I'd get black faced ones. Played out or not, they look good on the car. And they are cheap. Now I have thin spoked WS6 wheels on the car and it fits better (probably because they actually made a Formy WS6 and not a Formula ZR1). Gunmetal ZR1s look good, tough to find though.

if your sticking to 17's i like the TT2's. I decided to switch it up and just got a set of ruff 278s. ill post some pics when i get them on the car.

i was looking at a NBM car on ebay that had black rims with a chrome lip and it looks pretty good...what do you guys think?

i love those in silver. black looks ok too.

Nice looking wheel. People underestimate plain silver wheels on NBM and many other colors.

You get an aftermarket wheel with a factory appearance.

NBM likes chrome heres what I have they aren't so much more expensive than a corvette style

Looks tough. The good thing about NBM is that it's blue enough where it doesn't just look like an off shade of black. It's when the wheels are all black that it looks kinda ehhhhhh...

The car Arock posted looks great, those are CLEAN silver wheels!

Oh and Jim the car is lookin damn clean... no surprise there :lol:

the black wheels with the chrome lip look great to me
