nice 18 in wheels? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

RubyCamaro · 12-29-2011, 02:58 PM

Okay for those of us who have Camaros that came stock with 18 in wheels & we want nice wheels but prefer to stay with 18 in, it seems options are limited. I never see any good deals for 18 in wheels unless they are specifically for drag racing. Generally speaking I am having a hard time finding any nice choices. I do tend to have expensive taste on a WalMart budget but will save up if I need to. Suggestions???????????

Scarallo has an !8" that looks good...I'll post a pic when I get mine on the car

I really wish there were more 18" wheels available. I'm going to wait it out. I've got money burning a hole in my pocket but can't pull the trigger on 20" wheels.

Just too big for me. I like those Scarellos, too. I didn't think Scarello made an 18" that fit the Camaro.

The Rocket Booster and Torq Thrust look OK but in 20" the spokes are huge. I would like those in an 18", too.

Guess I'll have to mill my own.

Going to have to do a brake swap with a V-6 owner.

I'd be happy to swap brakes, rims and tires with you!
Just cruise on down to St. Pete....

I like your wheels & I like the wheels of Camaro54 & Black Beauty for examples. I don't like them too busy (I don't want to pimp my ride - lol). I would like to add a bit of my car color to my wheels (RJT) but not solid RJT. I have even thought about having my stock wheels custom painted. As for price, well let's just say community mental health does not pay very well. How expensive they are will just dictate how long I have to save up before I can have them.

Won't Corvette Wheels from C6 Z06s fit? I know the fronts will fit the back of our 5th gens. If those will fit, there must be plenty of aftermarket wheels made for the Z06 Corvettes.

RubyCamaro · 12-30-2011, 11:00 PM

That is a thought right there. Worth checking out.

Mud · 12-30-2011, 11:07 PM

I've seen those C6 wheels but they're just not for me. RR, there's another option for ya. I'm with Ruby, too many wheels just look busy. They're overdone and I don't want my muscle car being pimped.

18's are a nice balance of tire and wheel but the only ones that I like won't fit the huge brake calipers.

I'm not sure what Ruby is willing to pay but my limit is $250 a wheel. I want to spend some money on a cam and some headers. I just can't justify the price of some of these wheels.

Good luck, Ruby. Hope you find something. Looks like I'll have to get rid of perfectly good binders so that the wheels I want fit.
