Couple of Wheel questions

New to the forum...been lurking a while. I have a TPW of 10/19 so things are getting close...2SS/RS IOM. I just have a couple of questions regarding wheels.

I really would prefer black wheels, but don't want to pay $4K+ for Camaros only black offering on the 2SS. My question is: Can I buy aftermarket wheels and put my tires on them, or does one usually have to buy new tires with new wheels. Seems like you should be able to, but I don't know...may even be a dumb question.

My second question is if anyone has recommendations on wheel vendors. There seem to be too many and I don't know who's who. Pics of wheels on your camaro would be cool too. Thanks!

I do like the 21's from Chevrolet but not the $4600 they want for them. You can have someone put your tires on a different set of wheels. As far as wheels, there are many different vendors it just depends on your taste!!! Good Luck, and I know you love your car when you get it!

Boze Forged have good quality wheels. The one in the pic I posted comes as a 2 or 3 piece wheel. The 2 piece is 3,200 for a set and they are lighter than the stock wheels. You can also get them with or without a deep lip.

Well, you can not have the best of both worlds, light and large bring a lot of $$ like your 360s.
