Re: opinions plz

Look like the BMW wishbone rims. I like 'em, especially on black, that would look nice.

Re: opinions plz

What size are you looking for 17-18" ?

Check out the following BMW fit wheels with 40-45mm offset:

This one looks pretty similar (17x8 - 21lbs $199, 17x9 - 22lbs $209, 18x8 - 23lbs $229):



And this one (17x8 - 22lbs $169):




And what do you think about these (18x8 $194):

Here's the Tirerack search I did if you want to browse through some of the other wheels: 96 BMW 328is

They are the same offset as the ones you posted - 40mm (the ones you posted were 18x8 for the smallest size too...). 40mm on an 8" wide wheel should not be a problem for fit, I have 17x9.5 with 54mm offset on my car. An 8" wide 40mm (1.6") offset wheel will be 2.4" from hub to outer wheel rim and a 9.5" 54mm (2.1") offset wheel will be nearly 2.7" from hub to outer wheel rim. So my 17x9.5 54mm offset wheels stick out right around 1/4" more than an 17x8 40mm offset wheel would. The inside wheel rim is 5.6" from the hub on an 8" wide 40mm offset wheel, and 6.85" from the hub on a 9.5" wide 54mm offset wheel - so you would have plenty of clearance with an 8" wide 40mm offset wheel.

4.75" = 120.65 mm
120mm = 4.73"

So the lugs would be appoximately 0.01" farther from center on a true 4 3/4" bolt pattern verses a true 120mm bolt pattern.

Re: opinions plz

From searching, it's recommended to install hubcentric rings with 5x120mm pattern wheels Post on LS1 tech

Looks like the GM hub is a 70.3mm hub so you just need to know what the wheels hub dimension is to get the right OD for the hubcentric rings (seems to be 73mm in the above link)

Only pictures I could find of similar wheels on 4th gen Camaros are as follows:
