What do you think about these rims.
 
y2k c5 wheels on a thirdgen camaro. 17/18's. I cant find ANY pictures of them on an actual car!

Im getting my rear end this week godswill, im doing my interior and the motor is a work in progress that I dont expect to get done for awhile but I want to put some wheels on the car in the mean time and found a great deal on y2k c5 wheels.


If any one has pics or input on them let me know, its either those are c6 18/19's but the 19's are going to be a PAIN IN THE BUTT to get to fit.

Unless your car is lowered they will look horrible IMHO. There are so many other wheels that you can choose from that would look better on your car than those.

Thats what all my buddies are telling me. The car is getting lowered 1.75 soon tho but still no one seems to like these.

C6 wheels seem to really grab everyone but like I said alot of money/work to get them to fit.

hmmmmm.....i would defff get a photochop first. it could look good. 19's is pretty big especially lowering it. 18's would probably have better function and still good form. building a 383 though, most i would do is 17's with the suspension set for function, not form. my 2 pennies.

F-Bodies need wheels with a lip, look for something unique. Plenty of wheels to choose from just have to think outside the box. You can run 3rd or 4th gen wheels, even BMW patterns with Hub-centric spacers.

did the guy with z06 wheels just say to think outside the box ???? :)

Find me a nice 18x10.5" rear wheels with a lip that costs under $400. Trust me if I had $4,000 to drop on a set of wheels I'd be rolling on some serious peices of aluminum.

I think they will look good.

Jersyboyy 01-04-2009 11:59 AM

Those wheels are 18's in the rear 17s in the front. Their 300 with mickey thompson et streets(60% tread in the front) and some bs tires that are worn out in the rear.

Then emolineaux has a set of 16" cobra r replicas for a thirdgen with tires REALLY cheap

Then I was thinking about 18/19 c6 wheels i have a buddy who has a set hell let go cheap but then I gotta find rubber and as state their exspensive


So I dont know what to do as of right now im talking to emolineaux and will probally get those wheels for d/r's even if I end up getting something bigger as a daily driven wheel

Mike 01-04-2009 12:01 PM

why the hell would they have et streets on the front wheels?

NjbadSS 01-04-2009 12:20 PM

^^agreed... I'm very confused here

sweetbmxrider 01-04-2009 12:27 PM

is that the set i was just looking at on ls1tech? i think he tried to use the 17's in the rear when he went racing but blah blah blah and he wanted two more 17's yada yada

Jersyboyy 01-04-2009 03:59 PM

Sweet yup thats them and yea I dont get it either. Ill end up selling the mickey thompsons and getting nitto 555s all around if i get them wheels but well see

WildBillyT 01-05-2009 02:57 PM

I'd rock non-flashy wheels and tires and get the car painted.

JMO.
