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.

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.
