Which Rims for a 1969 Camaro RS? - Lateral-g Forums

BBC69Camaro · #1 09-17-2008, 10:32 AM

Still trying to decide on rims. Help me pick out a set (not my car; all photoshopped). Car is a resto-mod, kind of hoping to keep it looking stock / sleeper. Car is mini-tubbed, stock width rear end, looking at 17" sized rims (no opposed to going 18"), 245/45/17 in front and 335/35/17 in the rear.

A - Vintage Wheel Works V45s

B - Wheel Vintiques Series 90 Billet Rallyes

C - Rushforth Super Spokes with Smoked Titanium finish (probably go with polished lip; not pictured)

Thanks!

Rushforth's look killer

The Rushforths are my pick, since I tend to lean to the more modified side of things, but if you want a more stock look... if you want people to have to do a double take to notice the modifications, then I would run the 20" ralleys...

Both look killer, so it comes down to personal preference...
I like HRE's but they are currently out of my budget... so when it comes time to make a wheel choice I will look into similar stlyes with out the name brand price.... My cars are all drivers ...makes it hard to read the name on the wheel when you blow by someone at triple digits....

the last ones look the best but i would go with a bigger wheel to fill the wheel housing. i dont like the look of wheel/tires that fill the housing especially since wheels make or break these cars.

I agree none of the above and I think Fesler has a wheel to compete against Fikse in looks and finish.

What is Fiske wheel ? You guys mean Fikse ?

I voted for the Vintage wheel works, I'm a total sucker for the old trans am style looks so that is what I would go for.
I don't like the Rushforts at all on this particular 69 Camaro.
I think they would work a lot better on a highly modified 69 not something that is as stock looking as that one.

FWIW, I voted C.
I think those look the best on the 69 from the choices that you have there.
GOOD LUCK!!
