I'm looking for a general opinion on this, as I'm not sure if it will work or not....

Do you guys think this rim would work on my green 'maro???

Same wheels but in chrome on an early 4th gen in green:

Looks good imho.

As for black version, well, I don't really like black wheels but imagining the car in the link, it might be able to pull it off ok if black wheels are your thing...

Think is, I haven't got the time for chrome wheels.... You have to spend every hour of the day cleaning them... It's like buying a TT, where you have to spend 7 hours preaning yourself before your pretty enough to go out and drive it...

Hehe!

Thanks for the link BTW, at least I know how 17"s would look now...

Have to say I think chrome as well

Losty · « **Reply #6 on:** February 11, 2007, 01:52:41 pm »

I'd go gold or bronze with green tbh

they'll probably look pretty good in black....

i like the black wheels mate

Titsy · « **Reply #10 on:** February 11, 2007, 03:34:54 pm »

Or there's the gunmetal option with the 11" rears....

FUBAR · « **Reply #11 on:** February 11, 2007, 03:40:52 pm »

I (Badly) photoshopped this...

Personally I think the Gunmetal ones would look better

Titsy · « **Reply #12 on:** February 11, 2007, 03:42:58 pm »

That could do with a little smotthing I think FUBAR...

FUBAR, could you try this pic:

EDGE · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2007, 04:34:12 pm »

hhmmm.. thiose gun metal ones look nice.. but at 11" wide, the tyres are gonna cost you a packet!

Titsy · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2007, 04:43:15 pm »

You're not wrong, that would be between £160 and £200 each side at the rear....

But it would be awsome for putting the power down....

EDGE · « **Reply #16 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:15:12 pm »

yeah, but if you went with narrower stickier ones you'd be better off money wise.... how much power are you making?

Titsy · « **Reply #17 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:37:59 pm »

Just stock.... Was planning on changing the rims as I'm not keen on the stock ones, and was just playing with ideas....

HardRockCamaro · « **Reply #18 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:50:27 pm »

11" would look a bit too big imho.
I'd probably go wtuh 10".

Binky (SRS) has 315s on the back of his LT1 4th gen and it looked too wide at the back. Then agian they were drag radials so maybe it's tyre dependant...

I like the gun metal they looky classy

Incursus · « **Reply #21 on:** February 11, 2007, 06:48:41 pm »

hmm still prefer the chrome ones....but the black will still look good. dunno about the 5 spoke need to see them on a car.

HardRockCamaro · « **Reply #22 on:** February 11, 2007, 07:04:39 pm »

Gun metal might look ok, in the original style though, not keen on the other style.

Chrome/polished looks the nuts imho (wheels should be shiney!) BUT they really aren't practical for a daily driver.

Titsy · « **Reply #23 on:** February 11, 2007, 07:20:01 pm »

Well it's not a daily, but it is kept outside...

ianjpage · « **Reply #24 on:** February 11, 2007, 10:11:51 pm »

gunmetal or chrome IMO black ones just look wrong to me
