wheel advice for my rally yellow.

Looking for some recommendations.


As if it didn't stand out enough, I want to add some aftermarket wheels to my rally yellow SS to help set it apart. My requirements is that they have to be staggered and have to have a dish. I am pretty set on a black wheel with a chrome or polished dish and I am a sucker for a clean 5 spoke look. I want the rears to be 295s but will go with 315 if it is a wheel that is proven to not have fitment issues. I would like to keep the package under $3000, preferably under $2500. The plan is to go with 20's but I will consider 22's.


I have spent countless hours mulling over the wheel threads looking at thousands of pictures

love the ZL1 wheels, but they seem soo common even though they look amazing and are priced great! I think I could live with the gloss black.

I like the Niche Concourse but hear they are very very heavy.

Also would like to see some cars with the Ridler wheels on them but they are hard to come by

great classic look. The idea of doing the black spoked ones is definitely something I am considering. are those staggered? what size rear tires?

Tires are OEM sizes, but rear rims are 10 inches and front 9 inches. I was recommanded by Tire Rack not to go too wide for the tires since it could affect the suspension, mostly in the front.

If you want to go wider you'll have to consider upgrading both front and rear suspensions....

Hmm, I thought lots of people were running 295 and even 315 with no issues. I know I want to go 295 in the back.

thanks again for sharing the pictures

Here are my TSW Nurburgring. Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but I will give you an idea of something different wheel options. These are not black, but are considered matte gun metal. I really love the look and get lots of compliments. These are staggered also.if you check my profile and go into my albums you will see I have many more pictures that will give you a better idea of what these look like.

Thanks for the compliments. The spoiler is made by NLP. The front and rear blackout I purchased from revolution motorsports. I believe I paid under 50 bucks for both of them. I had them installed when I had the guy do the stripes on my new spoiler.
