mgaspari · 05-13-2012, 07:19 AM

Just got my IBM camaro and i cant really find to many people with black wheels, anybody have an IBM w/black rims and willing to share pictures, or does anyone know where i can find some pics?

Yea i saw his already! It looks amazing , wish i could get those rims. A little to pricey tho, but it atleats gives me an idea of what black rims look like on it

StangKiller-SS · 05-13-2012, 07:33 AM

I don't feel that all black rims does IBM justice at all, but with polished lips the combo looks good.

Few wheels look bad on ibm, or any color for that matter.

I think with just about any 20-22" wheels (or even 18's if you get the right tire and lowering kit) you're going to have a hard time finding a wheel that doesn't look good. There are exceptions, of course.

Some feel there is no contrast.. I have struggled with this as well.

High gloss black like Mindz has, looks great. But a big factor in that is the wheel/spoke design. I don't think a 5 spoke wheel stock wheels plastidipped or even in high black looks very good on IBM.. I think that looks a lil cheap in photos, BUT I do concede I have never seen it in person and of course it only matters what makes you happy...

I think the mesh design of the TSWs and F14s look great however...which will probably be the route I go.

Im thinking the tsw donnington or the nurburgring matte black.. but than again idk how the matte finish would look. for any other camamro color i like the matte but for IBM the gloss is what ill need. Or the f14's but those are very pricey but i think theyll be worth it. ive seen someone with IBM f14 gunnmetal finish and it looked great but im looking more for the black so maybe f14 matte black

The SwiftChancelor · 05-13-2012, 09:09 AM

I think the black wheels look good on all but white and maybe black. JMO. I like it the most on the blue and sgm.

same.. I like the gunmetal, it does look good with IBM but it is not the look I am going for either..

To the poster above, black wheels look EXCEPTIONAL on white.

I like my black wheels.

PoorMansCamaro · 05-14-2012, 09:57 PM

if i had IBM, i would go with gold rims with polished lip. don't know that i've seen any gold rims on a camaro, and i'm probably in the minority, but i just like gold on dark blue.

mgaspari · 05-15-2012, 01:33 PM

Any other suggestions !?

Hey Horsekack. Falundir posted a link to my thread selling them. They're a bit pricey because they're a monoblock design but if you want them, they're up for grabs.

Thanks for posting that pic Chase. I haven't seen it in a long time. I love that shot!

Just wondering if you bought or painted your calipers.
