      Wheel selection help

      Alright fellas, I am looking for some recommendations. I am leaning towards a set of Fikse's: either the Mach V's, the Aro's or the Profil 13's. I have looked at other manufacturers, but I keep getting drawn right back to the Fikse's. Plans are to have polished lips with black centers. Any other wheels you think would look great, please post up. I am open for suggestions.

      Here is a pic of my car:

      If you can afford it you can't go wrong w/ Fikse. Any of the three would look Great on the Camaro.

      also expensive, but with some neat designs is Volk Racing. http://www.mackinindustries.com/md/rays/volk.html

      also, Forgeline is big bucks but really nice stuff.

      Another that might be worth looking at is Speedline, maybe BBS or Momo, or ADR, or I-forged.

      check out www.aceforged.com too.

      this is a great place, good guys here, awesome wheels, like Racing Hart, HRE, etc

      BBS doesn't seem to offer what we need as far as backspacing goes :(
      I like the idea of volks... but I might be a ricer at heart.

      I thought about Volks, but I just don't know if they would look quite right on a muscle car.

      The Mach V's would look great IMO. You seem to be going for a more hard core racer look. Personally I think something like the new CCW Corsair in flat black would be killer on that car. (pic on the ccw home page) http://www.ccwheel.com/files/home.php

      I have been eyeing the corsairs for a bit now. The picture has been on CCW's home page for quite some time now, but there are no details anywhere on their site. I guess I am just going to phone them. And you are right, I am attempting to go for a bit of a racer/trans am style look.

      went poking around last night and stumbled on a pretty good wheel sit.wheel dealers direct.I liked the mht brand wheels as they have the available large sizes for 300 +tires.prices seemed pretty reasonable.

      I say Aro. Something about them just grabs my attention away from the other 2.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      How about HREs? (just as much $ as the ones you are looking at)



      They've got a new "compitition" series:

      The HRE's are nice. Those are definitely on the list as well. One slight concern with the HRE's is their reputation for bending/failing. Interesting read here: http://forums.audiworld.com/lrqc/msgs/41036.phtml

      I think I am slightly partial to the Fikse's. Something about the clean look with the bolts coming in from the backside. Any other wheel manufacturers use that mounting style for multi-piece wheels??

      Additional question: Anyone have additional info on the CCW Corsairs? I really like those, but their website has no additional info and they are not listed on their wheel profile page.
