Help with rims and Tires!!

[Jacko9]

Hi, i am new to this forum! I have a 2010 dark grey Camaro LT, and i think its about time for me to put rims on it. A few months ago i put matte black stripes on my car my myself (on each side, transformer edition) and they look really great. Now i want to get matte black rims to match them, but i am totally lost in the process and could use some help. I understand that my current stock rims are 18" and i would like to know how big of rims i can get without having to make any car/wheel alterations! Im just a kid so i dont have tons of money to blow on rims, but I'm thinking in the 700-800 dollar range. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Here is a pic of my car :-)

Welcome, and it's Cyber Gray Metallic, the best color. Try www.wheelreplicas.com, www.factoryreproductions.com
for sale section here, best bet on that budget. Sorry bout the colors.

Not sure you'll be able to get a good pair of rims and tires for that price....

If you find a good deal on some non-black wheels, you could also powdercoat or plastidip them to the color you want.

yea, people are always selling the 20" stock wheels at good prices. If it were me, I'd get a set of them (hopefully with decent tires) and plastidip them. I think people have been getting nice sets with tires under $500.

Thanks guys! I like the tires i have now, so is there any way i can just keep those and spend 800 on rims? Plasti dip was a thought of mine, but my brother did it and it didnt last too long :/ i appreciate the feedback

ZL1 wheels from Factory Reproductions are that cost. Check out their thread in the sponsor's section.

you can go up to 22/10 I believe before rubbing with stock suspension

Ok so 22/10, got it! What do you think would look better 20" or 22"? Wow had no idea rims were so expensive! any good websites i could browse?? Once again, i appreciate it.

Definitely 20s - Go with a staggered look too.

Maybe, if you want to stay with 18 inchers. For a real good lok though, you'll want to go with 20" wheels/tires. Again, check the Members Classifieds for used wheels/tires. There are some great deals there. Then, you can plasti-coat whatever wheels you get and be within your price range.

Just sent you a Pm my man.

Will do, thanks :-) when i put these rims on should i do it when i have to buy new tires? Or can i just ask them to do it with my current tires? Also, any way i could do it myself?
