You can add a pinstripe to any wheel you choose for a splash of RJT. While I'm not a fan of my own wheels, I like the way the pinstripe breaks up the black wheel from the tire.



When I ordered my wheels a year ago, I really wanted 18" torq thrusts. Now, I'm liking the new, American Racing Boulevard wheels. On the following link click on the "VN805 BLVD". As of now, they don't have the 18's listed as an option for the Camaro, but since they were released about a week ago, I'm sure it will be updated...

Rubycamaro,

I'm planning on going with a set of Forgestar's when I recover from the xmas holiday spending. I've chatted some with Nine Ball and he helped alot on comming up with just the right wheel and tire size combination that im looking for. I wanted to stay with the same overall height as the oem wheel/tire combination and he suggested the following size: I'm going with an 18x9 from with Nitto NT555 265/50-18 and 18x10 on rear with Nitto NT555 295/45-18. They also make a drag radial since i've read some of your race posts as well. The weight savings will be alot over the OEM 20" that I currently have. I just havent decided on which finish that I want. I'm leaning towards the gloss metallic silver or gloss gunmetal gray. Good luck in your search.

Talk to Nine Ball. He quoted me a price for some 18" Forgelines. Maybe it's only certain models?

edit: I just checked their site. Some of their wheels come in 18, but not all.

I found them. Really nice wheels. Not cheap but not terrible price. Pretty good price for a good quality wheel. I sent a message asking some questions. We'll see.

I have been studying my replacement wheels and tires for my Camaro since the day I bought it (April 2010). I am currently still looking tonight. As of this moment I am going with the above set-up but on 18" Nurburgring wheels. Trying to decide between bronze or gunmetal.

I bought my 18s from Whiteside Customs and love the way they look.
