I’m getting close to the time that I need to order my rims. I have been steering towards American Racing Torq Thrust II for a long time now. Now I’m looking for input and suggestions. If you think a different wheel might be cool, post it up. I will be putting 17" in back and 16" in front. And for now, I have front disc and rear drum brakes. Soon to be swapping to a 4th gen Camaro rear disc. These are the wheels: ![http://www.americanracing.com/dealerline/blackimages/mega/mCL205.jpg](http://www.americanracing.com/dealerline/blackimages/mega/mCL205.jpg) This is what they will look like on the car: ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/camaro_wheels.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/camaro_wheels.jpg) And this is the stance I am going for ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/camaro_stance.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/camaro_stance.jpg) Here are a few other wheels/styles I like that I’m debating on also: ![http://www.lateral-g.net/lillard/06.jpg](http://www.lateral-g.net/lillard/06.jpg) Some HRE 547s ![http://www.lateral-g.net/gulbranson/wheels/minitubtest.jpg](http://www.lateral-g.net/gulbranson/wheels/minitubtest.jpg) ![http://www.lateral-g.net/members/suhr/DSC_2567.jpg](http://www.lateral-g.net/members/suhr/DSC_2567.jpg) ![http://www.lateral-g.net/campbell/almost2.jpg](http://www.lateral-g.net/campbell/almost2.jpg) Or the old faithful Torq Thrusts ![http://www.lateral-g.net/members/hilliard/09.jpg](http://www.lateral-g.net/members/hilliard/09.jpg) ---

I guess it all depends on your taste, and the look you are going for. do you want a more racey look with meaty tires in the back, or more of a show car…or a combo of both? here are a couple of my choices… first, I personally think a wheel size bigger than what you are planning will “look” much nicer…18s in the rear and 17s in the front…bigger wheels on these body styles just does it for me…personally. Im also a big fan of billet. torque thrusts…always a good choice…but they are EVERYWHERE. (just look on ebay…a good 75% are torque thrusts…the other 25% are RS oem style wheels. ![http://www.classicchevy5speed.com/images/Customer_Cars/Bob-Walshs-1969-Camaro.jpg](http://www.classicchevy5speed.com/images/Customer_Cars/Bob-Walshs-1969-Camaro.jpg) here is a nice 18"/17" combo…a nice deep dish in the rear always helps! ![http://carad.ebayimg.com/i9/06/a/08/3d/6f/b0_1.JPG](http://carad.ebayimg.com/i9/06/a/08/3d/6f/b0_1.JPG) ---
