Just my opinion, but if I wanted strictly function over looks, I wouldn't be pouring $$ into a first-gen Camaro, I'd buy an 06 Z06 and just be done with it. Wheels with a lot of positive offset on 60's body styles just don't do it for me. Again, just my preference.

The dish ones just look better.

I like the dish look, but when I was talking to Tyler last time I was in vegas he mentioned the aerodynamic advantages to having little to no dish. He kind of made me question what I thought about deep dished wheels. I think I will still go with a dish but nothing extreme. I think they just look better and I most likely wouldn't notice the difference.

Function over looks IMO, although sometimes it's hard to give up the looks for better function.

Just look at the pictures, the Mustang looks lame and you can't tell at a glance if the rears are 7s or 12s. Up front is ok with minimal dish but in back you need dish on a musclecar! Leave the late model style wheels for the late model cars and a lot of the new RWD cars would even look better with a little dish.

I say just dish-it, dish it real good :lol: . Just my thought! Travis

So you are saying that if no one could see that a car had 12" wide rear wheels it would be "lame" to have them?

I think this looks pretty good

but I can understand that the dish look, looks good too. :yes: I do like a nice dish, however I think a huge dish on the rear with only a little dish on the front looks weird
