Rims with stock tires

Hey guys, I'm kinda new and I was wondering where I could find a pair of chrome corvette rims that would fit onto my 2002 camaro. What size do I need to fit with my stock tires? I've seen em on ebay but the dimensions have me clueless.


I tried the tire rack website, and they don't have too great of a selection of rims.

yea, OE wheels are ok, I got my wheels from OE wheels...dont ever get their tire package...the worst tires ever...no grip and handles like **** in corners but the wheels are nice, personally I got polished aluminum because chrome gets old and chips and stuff.

Not that all experiences are bad, but, you may want to google "O.E. Wheel Distributors" and look at all the complaints you will find.

yea, I was pissed, my Nexen Tires were out of round and wheel hop and braking was horrid and made me feel like i was going to crash when i braked, I think it caused runout on my rotors and now when I brake even with my new tires I still get a small pulsation in my pedal and thats hella gehy! Oh and one of my wheels took a lot of weight to balance it out and I know it isnt my tire...but other wise im pretty happy with my wheels

Your right, they are a horrible dealer. Hm.


I guess tire-rack is my only choice. How are their rims?

These look pretty B.A and it says it will fit. What do you guys think?

Those are nice. Looks like those black inserts could be removed easily and powder coated/painted to match your car too.

Ummmmm, standard rims standard tires for the 6 cylinder.


I'm at college until later tonight so I can't go out and measure them.


I put up a picture, maybe you guys can depict it from just looking. You know, like a psychic camaro lover or something.
