actually i dunno, i think the black Z06 rims would look pretty damn good, just get your brake calipers powdercoated red (no paint, powdercoat for the love of god.) dont suppose you have the four wheel disks do ya? if youhave rear drums, i dunno, you might want to leave the rear drums black or something to hide them, powdercoated or painted drum brakes never look good, and just scream rice. but if you are gonna run black rims, you absoulutely have to run raised white lettering on the tires, to make it look good.

I love the Z06 wheels but black is for ricerockets IMO. I think silver or chrome would be alot better and I agree that you need to do something to make the drums less noticable.

black rims actually look really good. in fact im looking to put a set of chrome torque thrust II's on my IROC with the spokes powder coated black, but the center cap, lugnuts, and outter rim left shiny chrome.

and actually the chrome IROC rims are pretty good lookin rims too, ive seen 20in chrome IROC rims on a third gen, and they didnt look to bad, i mean, it looked like a matchbox car, but it wasnt spinners ;)

Black Z06 would look awesome, or graphite...If you want aftermarket look at fikse if cost doesn't matter or intro if cost does matter...If i could fit the Z06 wheels on the front of my car i would but the thinnest Z06 wheel i can find is a repo that is 8.5 and widest i think i can fit is 8 (and the Z06 would require a HUGE spacer).

I think that 20" chrome i-rocs would look very good a black convertible camaro. Thats what I want when I grow up and get to buy another car. I'm only fifteen now and I just recently got my civic. Anyways, I have seen a camaro with big chrome i-rocs before and it looked very good. I-rocs also look good on other chevy vehicles like on blazers and astros. Is i-roc the car or the rims? If it's the car then I mean the rims that come on the i-roc camaro's.

Dont go that big...I like the look of intro's endless series 5star. Looks kinda like the Fikse FM5 but costs about 1/4 as much. I will be buying them for my car when the time is right. 1000 for a full set of 17s or 1500 for a full set of 18s.

no 20's wont fit. the largest i have seen is 18in rims with low profile tires. I have a magazine article somewhere that actually breaks down all four camaro generations for the largest rims and tires you can fit, im going home for break tomorrow from school, so while im home ill see if i can find it and answer this question.
