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.

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

oh btw, if you still want those shocks and springs installed, let me know, sorry for the long wait, lol. the SS is mobile now and i now can use my garage.

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 Fikse are nice and all, but I wouldnt spend 3G's on rims.

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

Be serious, n00b.

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.

[CALL911]

Here they are on the guy's Z that I sold them to.

[lastcall190]

Are you getting 18" gunmetal ones like your old ones?

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

[CALL911]

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

[Knipps]

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