what rims and rim size

[Chet Mo and the Camaro]

should i get 17 or 18 or both. also should i get the 05 vette rims or the older ones. btw ihave a gold camaro and photoshop would be great if you could do one for 18 on my car

i think the 17's in front and 18's in back look real good. go with the y2k vette rims... although i have seen 1 camaro with the '05 rims and it didnt look bad at all, so yea.... i know that didnt help with your decision on the style but theres my 2 cents on them.

i am a fan of the basic 5 spoke design..so i have 18x9.5 chrome 2001 C5 Corvette replicas on all four..i think my choice for 17s would be American Racing Torque Thrust IIs cuz that fat chrome lip look is pretty sick too..the chrome would look really nice against the gold IMO

yeah, with the gold car you would almost have to get chrome, definately no silver, or painted aluminum, not sure how black would look (or gunmetal). but i would only get 18s if you are goin for show, go 17's if you dont want your wheels to weigh a ton and still have decent launch capabilities.

well i want show but i still want to go i have eagle aluminum alloys on there and they are pretty nice (i would keep them if they were bigger and chrome) but i want chrome and a little bigger but i seen someone with 18s and i didnt think they were too big( i have to be careful and not overdo it with my gold car)

I would get the 17's, cheaper tires :D

I have 2005 corvette wheels on my firebird. 18"s all-around. I went with the black with chrome rivets. Black and gold would look good in my opinion, it'd be very subtle

I have 17X9.5s with 275/40/17 tires... May not be the best "show" size or whatever.

but easiest all around size, you can rotate front to back no problem and 275/40/17 is the probably the cheapest "big" size tire you can get.

Pics in the sig of my wheels, they make ZR1s in Gunmetal and black, might want to consider a set with some black stripes and maybe blackouts.

18s look sweet but the price per tire goes up like $50, vette rims are sweet too, but I like being able to rotate, can't really do that right with offset wheels.
