Thoughts on Ridler 695's for SS? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Intimidator333 · 05-30-2012, 06:37 AM

What's your thoughts on these wheels? Although I love them on most cars, I think there is just something off with the Torq Thrust M on a 5th gen. Something tells me these might bring the nastiness that's missing from that style of wheel on our cars. What are your thoughts of the flat black going on a lowered IOM SS?

those and the foose nitrous or legends pretty much look the same.....all three are nice looking wheels of you like that style.

grocerygetter · 05-30-2012, 07:13 AM

those actually lean alot towards the boss 338.

POWERFREAK · 05-30-2012, 07:57 AM

I agree w/ the OP...I like that style of wheel, but there's something about them on the 5th gen that hasn't blown me away yet, I think the spokes are a little too rounded or curved looking. Maybe the deep-dish look of these will look better then the others (deeper looking then the Foose versions)...would like to see some pix of them on a camaro.

B&DC5 · 05-30-2012, 11:16 AM

Same here, would love to see pic of these, little deeper dish would look better. Considering the Coys C5 also.

Intimidator333 · 05-31-2012, 03:27 AM

I agree with all your opinions. The spokes on the Torq Thrusts are too round and curve out and back in too much. I think these having a deeper dish might make for a more aggressive look that I'm going for. I like the look of Foose Legends off the car but on the car there is something about the spoke that is goofy to me. Not aggressive enough. Wish they made the Nitrous for the SS. Would love to see pics of these on a Camaro. Too bad we'll probably never see them.

POWERFREAK · 05-31-2012, 06:04 AM

I think also if they had a concave look to them, that would work better.

Well, I am torn between the Ridlers and Coys. If I go with the Ridlers, I will definitely post up pics for ya. Then slap the 275s on the front, and 315s on the rear, should look tight.

Wuiquen · 06-01-2012, 01:25 AM

Yes. those wheels are th same exact thing as the Boss 338. only different is the center cap. I have boss 338 in my car.

Yeah really close. I had 338's on my Charger R/T. These and the 338's spokes aren't quite as round and a little bit thinner than the Torq Thrusts. That's why I like these and 338's better. Too bad 338's don't fit the SS's. These do though.

I would like to see pics of both. The Coys look really good too. What kind of finish are you thinking of?

B&DC5 · 06-01-2012, 11:59 PM

Black would be my first choice, but wife says we have enough black wheels around here, so i guess i am going with chrome.

2010 SSRS · 06-02-2012, 12:21 AM

Definitely the chrome ones look much better

B&DC5 · 06-02-2012, 10:19 AM

My original plan was gloss black 338s, since i have a black car, but no 338s for the SS. The flat black Ridlers wouldn't be the look i am going for on my car, but think it would look tight on others, such as IOM. I guess i could paint or pc the Ridlers gloss black, but as stated above, the wife and I have compromised on chrome.

Intimidator333 · 06-03-2012, 06:18 PM

Chrome looks great on black. I saw a black Charger yesterday with these same style wheels in chrome and it looked awesome. I have an IOM with flat black rally stripes so I think flat black would look awesome on mine.

Ucantctchme · 06-10-2012, 05:49 AM

I prefer that they did not have rivets. These are 22" bradavos, they are also available in 20".

These look pretty good, and I generally dislike black wheels. I would like to see more pics of these from different angles.

mntgome1 · 06-10-2012, 11:09 AM

I actually like the rivits.... But they can get rid of the lip

Sleez · 06-10-2012, 11:21 AM

like them a lot!

Intimidator333 · 06-11-2012, 03:37 AM

I'm a sucker for rivets. I think they look tough. I wish the Bravados had more of a lip. They are on my maybe list.

You said it all perfectly!

DonutSS · 06-29-2012, 12:59 PM

Any forum vendors sell this wheel??

LineofPerfection · 08-28-2012, 02:13 PM

I just bought a set of these in chrome for my ABM. I will post pictures when I get them on.

B&DC5 · 08-29-2012, 09:18 AM
