In the mean time, I probably have to just buy some new 14" tires to fit the rims I have now; however, I want to start looking for some new (for me...used is fine) wheels for my Camaro. That way, I can be patient and wait for the right deal to pop up, or if something's available now for cheap...
... then I could get some sooner.
My criteria are:
1. 18" on all four (I could possibly be talked into 17" if its the right look and deal)
2. Widest possible width that will fit and correct offset for stock 69 Camaro keeping in mind that it will be lowered 2" in the future.
What is the correct width and offset anyway? I keep reading conflicting reports.
3.
I ain't paying $3000 for wheels, not even close, no way no how. In fact, I think $1,000 is the absolute TOP of what I'm willing to pay for them and I think that's even expensive. Used is perfectly fine with me as well. I can even handle some rash. I proably don't like whatever color they are anyway.
4. The tires available for whatever rims aren't stupid-expensive because they are some oddball size. I'll be driving this car a lot, it's not a trailer queen, so I'll go through tires. I'm willing to pay good money for a quality tire and definitely see the value in that. I paid way more for my tires than my rims on my last car, I think they were $250 a tire. However, pricey just because of a weird size makes no sense to me, I'd rather go to a more available size and spend my money on a better grade of tire.
5. They have to look cool on my car.....TO ME.....I may think stuff looks good when you guys don't 'cause I'm weird.
Here are a few examples of stuff I like the looks of:
I'm really likin' on these. I'd be really happy with them:
This is ok but all black instead of the brushed edges:
This one is about as open of a pattern as I still like. In fact, it still might be too open. I don't want to be able to see the whole rotor behind the wheel. I'd like to hide it somewhat:
So, with all that being said, advice and pictures would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
