18 in. Eagle 077 or Black z06?

I was wondering everyones opinion on the 2 wheels. I found red Camaros with each on them, close to my car... I think they both look pretty BA. My plan is to buy some wheels at the end of the summer, and get tires for my birthday. So Jeff, Sinister95Z, if you still have yours by then, I will be interested. And if anyone has the z06s at that time, keep me in mind please... Should have $500 to spend.

I can't decide.... If I got the z06s, I would do tint very soon afterward. If I got the Eagles, I don't know much else I would do for looks.

Sinister95Z 06-16-2008 07:58 PM

I sold my wheels awhile ago. So if you are basing any of your decision on that, you might want to re-consider. You can't go wrong with some darker tint no matter what wheels you choose in my opinion.

Out of those two wheel choices, I would go with the Z06 wheels just because they are black. I like the look of black/red combo...

First95 06-16-2008 08:12 PM

Yeah, I like the black/red look too. I was hoping to be able to find some Eagles on eBay, but I can never find the 18in. ones. And the z06s are all over, so they seem like the better choice anyway. And I've never seen these before, but they look sweet!

Mike Jones 06-16-2008 08:12 PM

I don't care for the Egales at all, never have never will.

The Z06's look good in the black, the silver ones won't look that good on the car though so go with the black ones you have pictured.

Those look nice! Not the same as everyone else yet they have a nice lip to them.

First95 06-16-2008 08:24 PM

I can't find a picture of the wheels linked on a Camaro, anywhere! But they are sweet wheels, and I wish I could see them on a Camaro... And would that lip create a problem with the offset, by making them stick out rediculously far or anything?

I'd take your zr1's too ;)

I haven't had the ZR1's for awhile - http://www.projectcamaro.com/gallery.../img_90102.jpg

I think the eagles look better. It needs somethin to brightin things up IMO. Since Its all black and red, It looks good but personally I like to have atleast a lil somethin in there to brightin it up a bit.

First95 06-16-2008 10:21 PM

Oh, Chad, I'd seen those pictures, just thought they were old... I like Smoothies too. I was going by your sig and avatar....

As for brightening things up, I think maybe clear corners, and the machined lip would shine it up a bit...

Sinister95Z 06-17-2008 12:31 AM

You won't find the Eagle's anymore. From what I have heard they are discontinued. The wheels in the link you posted are actually really nice.

First95 06-17-2008 01:17 AM

Just putting this out there... If anyone is good enough in photoshop to chop the linked wheels on, I would love to see it! I know it would be hard, since it doesn't show the entire rim, but anything would be appreciated.

Pictures...

I just found 5 spokes with a lip... And I like that the front is 17 x 9.5 and rear is 18 x 10.5... I think it would look sweet... Now I just want black wheels with a lip, screw the Eagles! But I do like the rivets.

I think I'm just making things harder for myself.

paarman97maro 06-17-2008 06:14 PM

I wanted Eagle 077s forever.. they are impossible to find, and if you do find them they are usually expensive or curb rashed to hell.

I changed my mind, and Im very glad I did. While I love how eagles look, the black with the lip IMO, would look better. Im not a huge fan of rivits (weird, becuase my wheels have them) I got used to mine, but I never really cared for them much.

First95 06-17-2008 08:43 PM

I know you liked the Eagles, but your car looks sick with the black wheels!

paarman97maro 06-17-2008 11:56 PM

I like either of the last wheels you posted. Wheels look so much cleaner without rivits!

whitecamaro96 06-18-2008 10:45 PM

i would deff go with the black w chrome lip any of the ones you posted would look sweet and i like the look of rivets but either way they look nice

SS_Camaro 06-19-2008 02:20 AM

i say you go with the z06 wheels, they look too sick

First95 06-20-2008 11:44 PM

I'm pretty much set on these... Are they the correct offset and everything? The description says 56mm. I don't want them to stick out some crazy amount and look stupid, but maybe near lined up to the fender....

Anyone really good with photoshop- I have a request please... I'd like those wheels on any picture of my car (located on page 1) with some tint around 35% and dark corners and markers. Thank you!

Sinister95Z 06-21-2008 12:56 AM

56mm is perfect. Just make sure to ask about the bolt pattern and the backspacing. Bolt pattern should be 5X4.75 and the backspacing should about 7 or 7.5.

First95 06-21-2008 01:22 AM

Cool, thank you... I could find any of that info on the net. It should fit, but I would call before buying.

ITSA6 06-21-2008 02:07 AM

i think you are making a good choice! can't wait to see some pictuers

They look good, I would go with them.

First95 07-09-2008 02:02 PM

So I definitely love the 5 spoke rims with the lip... But I've been thinking lately that if it's 10.5" wide in the rear, with a lip like that, will any mods need to be done? I've heard horror stories about spacers and would like to avoid using them. And I would like if the wheels didn't stick out past the fender. So would the wheel fit fine without any mods?

What Are those? I like them alot. The EXACT WHEEL i am looking for.

First95 01-13-2009 04:43 PM

I can't find them... They are the c6 z06 I believe... Found them on OE wheels a while back and they might not be there anymore.

imported_daddy 03-04-2009 11:25 AM

not a fan of the tint .
