I get asked all the time what my recommendations are, or what my favorite wheel styles are. To me, each type of vehicle requires its own wheel. I may love a specific wheel, but it won't always look good on every car. That goes for paint color to me, as well. I've been known to pick wheels specifically to go with different paint colors on the car.
Wheels set the character/mood of the car. Do you want something mean/tough looking? How about something racing inspired, or perhaps retro cruiser style? Maybe something more modern, or something with a European flair to it. All sorts of possibilities, and wheels will make (or break) your vehicle statement.
I'm going to list some specific examples of the
wheels I sell, wheels that I've been dying to see on a 2010 Camaro. You could be the first to roll on a set!
Boze "Injected". This wheel reeks of modern musclecar attitude to me, with its fat spoke profile and a touch of outline. That outline reminds me of the bordering pinstripe on the 1st gen and 5th gen hood stripes. I'd like to see this wheel exactly as shown (brushed center, polished lip) on a black or cyber gray Camaro.
iForged "Supra". If you want the road-racing appeal, or something that makes your Camaro a "mature" modern-day hotrod, nothing does a better job than a clean mesh style wheel. The huge spoke openings, and clutter-free design with no hardware showing make this a stunning wheel to me. I'd love to see this wheel on a no-stripes car. Not sure the mesh goes with stripes, kind of clashes between retro and modern.
Pro Wheels "Jet 5". I know one customer has a set of these already, but not on his car yet. I can't wait to see them. This is pure old-school Americana, a very retro-style wheel that still has a modern CNC machined look to it. This example below has brushed centers with a polished lip. I think perfection might be a retro color Camaro (Black, yellow, white, red, silver) with stripes and a set of these wheels.
Cor Forged "Classic". Multi-spoke wheels are very modern and performance-inspired looking. This design is a knockout with the retro style stepped lip mixed with the modern center forging design. This wheel, exactly as shown with its matte center, gives me dirty thoughts on a dark colored car. Black with CGM stripes, or maybe even dark blue with white stripes.
Iconz "730Z". The straight spoke lines and sharp corners lend themselves well to the chiseled and sharp creased body lines on the Camaro. This seven-spoke wheel would give the Camaro a very refined/modern look. Again, I'd prefer this one on a car without stripes. Maybe a gunmetal gray center on a white or silver car.
HRE "893R". These are the wheels I have on my cyber gray Z06. I almost bought another set of them for my cyber gray Camaro, but people already thought I was a nut for buying two cars with the same color
. I'd like to see this combo, with cyber gray and silver pinstripe, on a cyber gray Camaro.
More to come...
