Help me choose wheels for my 2nd Gen camaro, have to order tonight or tomorrow...

[malibulvr]

I have been looking and looking and have come down to three choices for my new wheels. I would really like to hear your opinions on what I should go with and why. The first two choices are the TT copies from Summit Racing, and the other are the MB Wheels . I just have not seen many of these wheels on the Camaros and I have a hard time visualizing them on my car.

This is my car, Weld Wheels are gone now, and the rear is coming back down level.

These are my choices that I have come down to that I can afford. Either way I am planning on using 255/45-17 front tires and 285/40-17 rear tires prob kumho spt's.
Either of the Summit Racing wheels grey or chrome will come 17x8 w/4.5" bs, and 17x9 w/5" bs.
The grey wheels I can have shipped to my door for $571
The chrome wheels I can have shipped to my door for $677

....
Next choice is the MB Wheels Coy's copies. I like these wheels alot because of the nice lip and the rear wheels have a much larger lip than the fronts. I can't think about affording these in chrome,LOL!!!
These wheels will come in 17x8 w4.5" bs for the front, and 17x9.5 w/ 5.5" bs. I can have these shipped to my door for $633.

Of those I like A

[SR71]

the mb's look the best. that huge plain disc at the center of the summit wheels look like ass.

[BonzoHansen]

i do like the center of the coys one better too. but I don't like the angular look (if that makes sense) of them on a 2nd gen.

MB Coy's

[MikeDVC]

MB in Gray

[DriverzInc]

We have Show Wheels that look similar, which are $160 each ($640 per set) that come with a gray finish center. I think would look sweet with the color of your car.

Can also get you a package deal on tires also!

Who is the name behind driverz inc?

[malibulvr]

I saw the "Streetwheels" on another site think it was JDWheels.com.... IMO the "Streetwheels" would look nice if they didn't have "Streetwheels" writing stamped/embossed into the spokes. Just looks kinda cheesy to me. The "Ridler" 695 and 675 wheels look nice also but by their specs the backspacing would not work. Thanks for the suggestion though.

He will be posting up here very soon, probably by Monday.

No worries, and I know what you mean about the writing in the spoke.

Go with the show wheels, best out of the ones you have.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

option 3 or 4!!

[SLO_Z28]

^Thats the first set of wheels you posted on a 2nd gen, just to give you an idea.


I think the chrome wheels would look good on your car.

I tried to order the MB Wheels this afternoon and now the front wheels are on backorder or something cannot get for almost 3 weeks, sooooo, I guess I have to make another decision.

I am now considering the REV Classic 100 wheels they are American racing TT2 copies. I can get a set in polished for $700 delivered to my door, or in grey for about $640, and they have a nice flat lip. Also another member on here is offering me a new set of BOSS 338's in I think 18x8 and 18x9.5 with new tires, but the 18x9.5 rears I think have 5" backspacing just from doing a bit or research, but not sure if they will clear the fenferlip in the rear or not. He sent me a pic of the wheels on a 2nd gen Camaro and they look close in the rear. Anybody have any experience with these wheels in this size.

These are the REV wheels:

And these are the BOSS 338 wheels and tires that another member sent me that are for sale.

What is your opinion?

[SLO_Z28]

Those 883's don't have enough backspacing for a second gen. Those REV wheels would look good IMO. I think the chrome with a blue car works.
