This is my old car, but am trying to find a body so I can have it built my way...again. Sold the car to fund a lake house.

Going with more power this time, so thinking 17s on the front and 18s on the rear...with a mini tub. The wheels on the car pictured are Rocket Racing wheels, but don't come in 18x10.

The car built will be the same color combo and such...thinking a polished wheel would look great on her.

Ask 1000 people and get 1000 answers but the short one is your favorite wheel. I like 18s and 19s on 1st gen Camaros form the standpoint of proportions but it's your car so it's your call. If 18x10 is as wide as you want to go, you don't need mini-tubs, just a proper fitment. Here's a few 1st gens we've put shoes on. Drop a line anytime if you have any questions about any of them.

Thanks Jason! I'll be in touch. The Fuel Series wheels you have look nice!

I like the polished look too, for me it depends on paint color, trim and what not to decide wheels color and style. I have a white firebird with chrome trim and bumpers. I didn't want chrome or anything too shiny, so i went with a brushed metal finish and polished lip. I think it matches my car very well.
