Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!
hello everyone some may know me and some may not know me.
so pretty much I'm sick of me wheels ( y2k thin spoke vette wheels) and getting the commont " o its just another camaro with vette wheels"
I've decided I want something eles, I would like to go with a dark wheel either black,gunmetal or somthing that make my car look sinister just dont know what
Do I want to paint my y2k's?
do I want the adr-m sports (wich would require some widdening to make em fit to my likings.
this is the last picture i got
all chop work done by stephen

Pink lips are always nice..... 
But since you don't want pink wheels, I'll leave them bare aluminum.

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!
i think you should get rid of the y2k's altogether, i hate mine now too for the same reason, "another camaro w/ vette wheels... yawn.."
i like these, even though they are "c5 vette rims" they really aren't...
OE wheels C5 DeepDish machined faced with black:

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!
Are those Corvette brakes on your car? I really like the way those look and Ill bet they stop you on a dime...Is it just a straight bolt up or are there other mods that need to be done to make those work on a third gen?

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!
To me theres absolutely no comparison.
The M-Sport's lines are much more angular and muscular looking. It fits the thirdgen lines much better. Those EVOs are nothing but complicated compound curves and sweeps, just don't fit at all to me.

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!
Or you could go for some nice 18' Irocs...only bad thing is that they only come in 18x8's and only in chrome...although some places may sell them to you unfinished, and you would have to polish and paint them yourself...and then you can also have them widended like I did. Sometimes a stock looking wheel can be the best.

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!
I like the ADR's best but I don't think they suit your car. I like Mr Iroc-Z's comment but instead of painting them grey like he did do it gold to match your decals. It would look stock but still jump out because they are big and they will also still show those killer brakes you have.

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!
those are my favorites along with the stock iroc wheels look. not sure what the name of them is. i like polished ones best, but i'd have to say these are the best looking dark wheels to my taste.
the bear aluminum was way funny. nice photoshop work on the wheels

Hyperblack varies in shade, but it's like a weird chrome color added to black paint from what I understand...

Get customized Ronals. They can do them in gun metal or black for you, I believe... and they are Ronals.
A nice example of one custom:

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!
Bite your tongue, Mr.
Back to being serious,
The XXR's might be more your style:
XXR 962
These are still the same 5 spoke concept, but taken a different way.
This one's a little different, but you may find it fits your fancy as well:
XXR 02

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!
As much as I like OEM parts and would LOVE to agree with this, dude's got some big ol' brakes. I had to buy 16" Volks to fit bigger rotors under because stock 15's won't cut it for my project.
Those XXR 962 rims look like Rota P-45F's, and the XXR 02 rims look kind of like Rota RB's... The XXR 02 most resembles the old school Watanabe rims, which belong on something old and Japanese. They're rims I'd rock on my old historic Integra, not quite on an IROC.
Although... I say get some Ronal Teddy Bear rims, get them done up to look like Pedobears! Just kidding. Keep the options coming.

Re: Sick of my wheels help me find new ones!
THANK YOU! I've been thinking the same thing ever since the first time that I saw them. I still can't figure out what the huge appeal to them is.
How about the YearOne snowflakes? You'll be the only one with them on a thirdgen...and you can get them with the black centers.
