Rocket Booster VS American Racing Daytonas - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am looking at both of these wheels in chrome but haven't been able to find any pictures of actual cars with these wheels installed. Does anybody have these and can post some pics. The pics PTS posted shows the Rocket Booster in every finish but the chrome, and the cars they are on don't look close to stock. Thanks for any pics to help me compare a bit better.

I couldn't find any pics of the American Racing Daytona wheels in chrome on a Camaro

That looks pretty slick. I going to look into pricing on both, they are very similar wheels. I am a more of the classic/traditionalist look, so I am looking for modern muscle style wheels and these two wheels are the best I have found so far. I like the way the TSW Nurburing wheels look too on the Camaro, just not that classic look I am going for.

daytona looks to be the way to go to me.

InfernoMan2011 · 12-01-2011, 09:18 PM

Yeah, the more I compare. I'm really liking the way the chrome Daytona's look with the orange. Here is a pic I grabbed off the web and used at wheelsnext.com to put them on the car. I think I like them a bit more than the rocket boosters because because they don't show as much of the rotor.

You know tire rack and discount tire both have a set up to see your cars with wheels you choose on their website...

I love the look of the Daytona's in chrome, would have bought them but they are heavier than the stock wheels as I recall.

InfernoMan2011 · 12-02-2011, 08:05 AM

I heavier really a big though if I'm not going to take the car to the track? My car is a V6 daily driver, so unless there's another reason to shy away from a heavier wheel, these seem like a good fit.

I like the Rocket Boosters as well. If I put a spacer on, do you think I could run the 18" hyper shot Booster?

HDRS · 12-02-2011, 06:02 PM

I have the Daytona's but no picture at the moment. I can take some tomorrow and post. They are heavier then stock I think around 75lbs with the P zero and a pain in the ass to clean but I do like the look

Hey There, Did you have to use spacers to clear the Brembo calipers? If so what size spacer did you use? Thanks!
