Default Need some suggestions for a 68 Camaro

Hey guys, I'm new here, and it looks like you have a nice community here Its hard finding forums that are dedicated to my kind of cars. Its all these little honda's these days

So, I have a 1968 RS/SS Camaro that I've restored completely, and I'm about 95% done, and I'm just trying to find some wheels to put on it

Do you guys have any suggestions for wheels? I kind of like these: http://www.billetspecialties.com/ite...id=132&pid=722 but I'd love to hear all your suggestions.

Thanks

Welcome to the site, Jeff.

I like those wheels, I think they'd look great. Is there any one brand or style that you like?

There is lots of quality wheels form B.S. I own a pair myself. Try photo copying them on to the car first. Ask someone here if you don't know how to do it.
I tried 5 different set of rims with a picture of the car.

What I learned is that my frist choice was the worst looking set. Remember you cant go wrong with a set of 5-spoke wheels. However, they set the style and character of your car. Buy what works for you.

Good luck,

R.P.
