My personal favorites are the American Racing Torque Thrust wheels and the Boyd Coddington Smoothie II's. Either one would look killer.

Overplayed... If you want to be different from most others dont get Z06's, ZR1's, or TTII's.. To me those 3 are the most used rims for Camaros..

What theme were you thinking about? You could do some black rims with a chrome lip.. ADR makes some pretty good looking black rims if thats what you want..

For me, I like the new C6's and C6 Z06's.. With most of these rims your car would need to be dropped to look killer..

And as said before 17 or 18's.. You can go 10" wide in back if you want.. But 9-9.5 is good for all the way around..

or
The C6 CHROME 18 X 10 1/2 REAR 18 X 9 1/2 OR 18 X 8 1/2 FRONT

and just look for them on ebay.com

I've got the chrome ZR1's. They are nice and they look good, they just aren't that original. They are cheaper than most rims too.

Owch, no love? It's true i dont like Z06s. I just think you could be a little more origional than 98% of all the other camaros out there that think those are the bomb. But if you like them than go for it. By all means, dont let me stop yah. You're still alright in my book if you do. Just dont get that mid-rise spoiler, then id have to disown you.
