I wanna get new wheels but I'm not sure which to get. I care about handeling more than look so I'm thinking the 17's? I dunno, any input would be great. I wanna get either Torqu Thrust 2's or the Cragar SS's. Also, what width should I get? Thanks

A lot like my car [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyways, I would say get the 18's for looks if that's what you want. There's more tire there and generally a wider tire too, so you could also have better handling with those. However, if you still want nice acceleration go with the 17's. Bigger wheels eat up acceleration really quick due to the increased rotating mass; 17's would probably give you good looks still, but not slow you down too much. I know mine make my car a lot slower.AIM: Alientr8tr<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/583450\" target=\"_blank\">1998 Camaro 3.8L</a><br />Flowmaster 80-series, !FRA, Eibach Springs, KYB AGX, SLP sway bars, 3.42/LSD, Wings West kit, Z06 Motorsports, Silverstone Metallic paint<br /><a href=\"http://www.shift5.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Shift 5</a> - My Band

Thanks for all the replies. I think I'm gonna go with 17's all around because I'd rather keep my acceleration.\'96 M5 Camaro White<br />Flowmaster Full Catback<br />SLP CAI<br />180* Thermo<br /><br />Stereo: H/U - Clarion DXZ725 <br />Alipne Type-R 6.5 Components (front), <br />Alpine Alpine SPS-1629S 6.5 <br />2 10\" JL 10w0<br /><br />\"One Love\" -Bob Marley
