Help with Picking Rims. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

TRC-SS · 07-16-2012, 07:40 PM

Hey guys, most of you in the New England chapter have seen my car.

I am torn between these 2 sets of Rims. One set is on sale right now for $1000 cheaper than the other set. I wont tell you which set it is cause i want the wheel that will look best on my car and not have to do about the money. Both sets are Factory sizes.

Here is my Car Now

Option 1- is Cordon CR-1 Wheels, Machined Face, with Black Inlay.

Option 2- is ICONZ **** Wheels, Chrome

Thanks Guys

Nutbutt · 07-16-2012, 07:52 PM

Option 1 if you want to break from the camaro mold. Option 2 look to much like the 45th anniversary edition wheels. I reallly do like option 1 !

nasty2ss · 07-16-2012, 07:54 PM

Option 2 looks the best imo

FiLTHy PHiL SS/RS · 07-16-2012, 07:57 PM

Option 1..
it's pop-in..

Sleez · 07-16-2012, 07:59 PM

option 2, enough mesh already! JMO

TRC-SS · 07-16-2012, 08:04 PM

Thanks guys....should have made a "POLL" option!

v6sonoma · 07-16-2012, 08:12 PM

Option 2. Plus being from icon I'm almost positive they will be the cheaper of the two.

NewDivide · 07-16-2012, 08:49 PM

Option 2. reminds me of 80's IROC wheels. And that's a good thing.

SS2012 · 07-17-2012, 06:32 AM

Looks like I'm an Option 1 guy.... both sets looks sweet but option 1 jumps out at me!

hoffmk2003 · 07-17-2012, 07:18 AM

you have a "show" car kind of look going on with the hood and such, I would go with option 2. Option 1 is more of a stealth look which isn't what you are going for based on the mods I see. Your car looks great by the way!

Thanks ken, you pretty much nailed what I was thinking!!!

1954 Belair-man · 07-17-2012, 07:21 AM

2 here

TRC-SS · 07-17-2012, 07:22 AM

I love both wheels, option 2 I will need new rear tires since they are Actually 20x11. So I think I'll run some 305/35/20s I think the 315s are too big for my tastes!

LadiesMan217 · 07-17-2012, 08:12 AM

Personally...Option 1...

For your car, probably Option 2 due to what Ken said.

epstein · 07-17-2012, 10:14 AM

Cordon....I been eyeing those ....Pm me where and how much

FiLTHy PHiL SS/RS · 07-17-2012, 10:21 AM

Get a set for each side.
can't see both sides at once...
then you park the car how you feel that day.
problem solved... By George, you've done it again Magoo...!

PAUL SS · 07-17-2012, 10:49 AM

Option 1 for your car, option 2 for my car.

I want wider wheels so I can put bigger tires on.

Good luck making a decision.

Monte · 07-17-2012, 12:21 PM

2

Havok · 07-17-2012, 01:20 PM

Think 1 would look good only on a black or grey Camaro, but I don't think 2 would look good either. I guess if I had to choose I'd go with 1.

PAUL SS · 07-17-2012, 02:03 PM

Are they forged?

TRC-SS · 07-17-2012, 06:46 PM

I ended up Buying set 2, The Iconz Wheels. A member had them here. They are brand new still in box and i got them for $1,030 Shipped.

.

The Cordon wheels are $2030 shipped from a vendor here on the site.

Now ill just have to find a new set of rear tires.

Northeast Rod Run · 07-17-2012, 06:47 PM

Not trying to insult anyone's taste here, but when comparing the two, option two looks like a very cheap generic wheel compared to the first one.

If you were leaning towards the second one, I'd just keep what you have now because there isn't much difference at all, except for the chrome

Northeast Rod Run · 07-17-2012, 06:49 PM

oh well, looks like we were posting at the same time. As long as you like them, that's all that matters anyway

united1 · 07-17-2012, 09:42 PM

option 2 Those wheels are going to look sweet on that car . If you change your mind and want to sell them , let me know.
