427 Cobra style wheels on 1st Gen Camaro??

[BuddyP]

I've always liked this style of wheel, and after a few years of pondering about wheels for my '68 I still kinda come back to these, and they are resonably priced..... Thoughts? Anybody have pics of Camaro's with these wheels?



Or should I just go with some Rushforths (I kinda like the "rated X" wheels also)

cool wheel, but lose the fake knock offs

I really like those too and was thinking of using them on my '69, but am thinking i'll go with Racelines instead, which are pretty close. The only bummer is that Raceline doesn't make a 9.5 for the rear, only 9 or 10. Here is a pic of the wheel, it's the GT 2 and it's a 2 piece billet wheel. Here is a pic of a '69 with this rim as well for reference. Just another option to think of....

There was a wheel made by Halibrand that was called a Grand Sport that was carried recently by Discount Tire that I really liked. It was only offered in 5x4.75 bolt patterns and was a really sharp wheel. Looks like it may have only been available in a positive offset.

Those are nice but outer polished part of the wheel is too thick....imo

I actually like the knock offs. Probably wouldn't care for the wheels as much without them.

Not a camaro, but same wheels.

i like knockoffs when they are real. Im just not a fan of fake stuff.

that was a very nice daytona coupe. it looks good with real knock offs and saftey wired on.

I have those wheels in the original post on my chevelle.




They do say shelby all huge on the centercaps, just a warning. I've gotten alot of positive comments about them, which kind of suprised me. I anticipated more jabs about them being "ford" wheels :p My dad likes them so much he ordered a similar set for his 65 vette.

Ditto, I do agree with you on that.

I think the lip is nicer and no Shelby in the middle

those are the ones my dad got for his vette. The lip is the same standard lip as the American Racing wheels (the stock pic in the first post has a flipped hoop, which isn't what you get when you order them). The raw center on the VWW is nice looking though.

I wish I had better shots of the wheels but my gallery crashed and I lost most of my pics.

doesnt homegirl from popular hotrodding have them on her orange Camaro?

Driverz Inc carries Schott wheels and they have a model called Venom that has a little bit of that Cobra look. The knock off is part of the center cap and hides the lug nuts. If the lip stayed polished and the center was a different finish or color, I think it would look a lot better.

Yeah fake knock-offs are the drag.

We have a wheel in our XLR series that's has a very similar look. We can do the wheel with a powdercoated center as well. If you have any questions just send me a PM.
