Overall Best looking Wheels

I have a silver ice metallic camaro and I have really been attached to the black chrome Havoc wheels or the Forgestar f14's. I'm just curious what you guys think? What are the best wheels in your opinion that would look stellar on a SIM Camaro!

Forgestars, I always thought the Havoc wheels looked pretty cheap.

Agree. Not feeling havocs at all. F14s look great just kinda sucks so many people are getting them. But chances are nor really many or any people in your neighbourhood has them so who cares

Havoc will be cheaper but I like the Forgestar better.

ADV1 and D2 aren't seen on alot of cars because they're in a way higher price group than forgestars. I'm thinking about 3x more. I'm assuming he, like most aren't looking for something that pricey

I went with Vossen CV-3's. By far my favorite wheel! A nice deep concave wheel really amplifies the aggressive additude of the car.

Some people might like the "cheap" look guys.....as in my case. So I think the OP could quite possibly be happy with either choice. I can tell you that everyone in person happens to love the look of my wheels. I'm sure a lot of cars on here get this but people are always saying my Camaro is one of the best they've seen in person...and the wheels are usually a big part of that.

I also have "cheap" looking caliper covers....which people compliment on all the time. I dunno what it is but people seem to like the "cheap" stuff. For my LT....I like them as well. But I do understand they aren't high end wheels or Brembo brakes and are definitely not everyone's taste.

It's up to you OP. I would rather have Havocs than Forgestars....It's the complete opposite to me.The Forgestars look cheap looking compared to the Havocs

I don't think either wheel looks "cheap." Wheels are about personal style.

But Forgestar F14s are commonly found on some of the most expensive cars on the road. I don't know anyone that thinks they look "cheap."

You also might want to consider wheel weight. I have no idea how heavy or light the Havocs are. But weight is very important to me.

I like both havocs and Forgestars, and honestly I don't mind spending a little more money on something worth it. If the forgestars would be better for performance, wear and tear, ect... then sure. I want something that compliments the looks of the car and doesn't detract from it. This is one of the most visually appealing cars on the road that isn't exotic.


Now I have a silver car and I wouldn't like the black rims look unless its gloss black/piano black. Even then, i am wanting to go with a chrome or polished looking finish to help even the contrast out on the car.


i'm thinking tinted windows, phantom grille, tinted LED sidemarkers, afterburners, colorshift halos, gill shades, SLP splitter, ZL1 grille, ZL1 rear diffuser, perhaps black painted hood spears and thats all.
