Must.... find.... new.... rims!!!

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"

How about Privat wheels?

I like the Privat Profil rims, I think they would look nice in 18x9.5

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

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

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).

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.

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
