Thinking about...

Ordering some wheels.
I want 315/35/17's on the rear.

Options....
1. Widen the stock WS.6 rim. $225-240 a rim. $180 a tire (Nitto DR's for the rear)
Total = $810-840

2. Chrome Corvette ZR1's. $810. $180 a tire (Nitto DR's for the rear)
Could sell the stock wheels for $600 roughly.
Total = $570


3. Black Corvette ZR1's. $680. $180 a tire (Nitto DR's for the rear)
Again...able to sell the stock wheels.
These are the wheels Alex put on his Z/28.
Total = $440


4. ARE Torque Thrust II's $970. $180 a tire. (Nitto on rear)
Stock wheels sellable.
Total = $730



I love my stock WS.6 wheels.
But it is VERY costly to have them fit a 315mm tire.
Other options....post them up!!

Re: Thinking about...

I really like the Torque Thrust II's. Even though they seem kinda 'played out' by the F-Body guys. I don't care for some of the stuff done to this car though.


I guess black C5 Z06 wheels might be an option as well...


Or chrome C5 Z06 wheels...


These are the chrome ZR1's....I like this. Close to stock.

The first pic is a ride from LS1.com. I dont know his name but he claims to have invested $36K under the hood.

Re: Thinking about...

Not only are the black ones cheaper, but they look best with your all black car I think. They have just enough aluminum/chrome to accent it without sticking out too much in my opinion.

Re: Thinking about...

i thikn the black ones look to much like ricer rims, i love the torquethrust 2's. I am thinking about getting them on my car. I had them on my 95 z28, but remeber on thoes, you have to have a thin wall socket to get them off, and the center cap it held on by allen screws i would switch them out with flat head stainless screws. The allen's get striped.

Re: Thinking about...

Flip a coin between any of them but I like the AR2's best . I like the contrast .I would never try to have stock ones cut and welded . No one has a T/A in my area so personnalizing is all about me. Rob

Re: Thinking about...

Wow. Hard decision, I prefer the stock wheel as well, always thought the trans am got better looking wheels than the 2000-2002 ss camaros did. Personally, I'd widen the stock wheel, or find someone to make a knockoff wheel thats wide enough.

well, the first one is the best (l guess it is crome corvette rims) . that would suit to your car real good and close to stock rims too.. that torgue thrust reminds me mustangs and we are not mustang the black one is good too but l always loved chrome.. (MY OPINION)

l would like to see new rims pics on your your car Luos. (as soon as you get)

take care..

Re: Thinking about...

Great Decision! Those are beautiful wheels, keep us posted with pics once they are on your car.

How do you post pictures I've been wondering for a while now. I was able to browse for my Avatar but not for my signature or post. How do you guys do it?

Re: Thinking about...

The pic has to have an internet web address.

Then...
[IMG]web address[/IMG]

And I have to decide between the chrome and the classic now.
The chrome is the one you see...and the classic is the same design but like this...
