aftermarket wheels

So the front and rear sizes are different on the SS I think.
If I get aftermarket ones should I tr to stick with the stock sizes?

I want black rims but I'm not about to spend $4k to get them from chevy.

I could always keep the stock wheels and powder coat them.

I might powdercoat the stock 1SS wheels black also, so I dont have to store or sell another set of 20's. I had summer/winter rims for two of our cars and it became a pain moving the rims and tires around.

Here are some that I think would go well on the Camaro and all are available in size 20 x 8.5 with either a 5 x 115 or 5 x 120 offset. I think the Camaro will have the 5 x 120 as it is the offset used on the Cadillac CTS and most other sinilar sized GM cars. All rims are from American Racing

I think the PCD will be 5x120 with a bore size of 67mm, but the aftermarket better sort out the offset range of their wheels as Camaro is based on the VE commodore and they have +48 on the front and +57 at the rear.

All the wheels I like are around +20 max.

Rodtana had a few nice wheels on show at SEMA for the Camaro

I like them anyway. I think they're so classic they can't go out of style.
