Those Bud Ice penquins sure were cool....sorry, trying to break the tension a little ...

Haven't talked wheels in a while, have we? Let's do that. Based on things that are or are not floating around, what type of wheel are you all thinking? I think a wheel similar to the Y2K C5 wheels would be cool. Maybe a 2008 rendition of the salad shooter??

 

this is gonna get deleted...

and this pink elephant in the room really sucks...
cause i cant see anything other then the elephant...

 

LOL, hopefully the Salad Shooter has been buried for good, never to be resurrected.

I remember how cool they look in 93, but they aged very quickly.

 

personally i still like the salad shooters... expecially chrome...

but i liked what i saw... but i dont think what i saw, matched up with todays rim styles coming out of GM... look at the Impala SS and Cobalt SS... those wheels are so flat

 

Hrm yes the elephant is not the color I wanted it to be either...
GM must have a patent on silver.

Anyway...wheels, hrm...I think as of right now, Chrysler/Dodge has the best wheels.

 

This elephant may be grey but that doesn't mean what we will see will be.

 

Same. I actually traded 16x8 chrome ZR1s for salad shooters. Eventually ended up with a set of pristine salads.
The rims looked nice...errr...man that elephant is huge.

 

no grey is probably a good color to find flaws... or too look at in a bland state and really pay attention to styling...

 

As far as wheels go... i believe that we need the next gen to keep up with the current trends on wheel design. something simple but elegant that will also be sporty. I believe that the old 5 spoke SS wheels

dodge is really getting some nice wheels for their cars... 20 inch wheels should be an option on the top model camaro...

 

naa i kinda like the direction GM's SS wheels are going, just make the old SS style rims with the new flat faced rims... and you'd have a pretty good rim design i think

 

Listen to this man. I wasn't trying to make this about "elephants", I would really like to talk wheels. We know we are getting a more 1st gen type car, so what so you think would go well? I agree with jcamere94z28, those are pretty hot wheels. How about a dished wheel? Foose is making some great looking wheels right now. I heard he might be working with a f-body competitor for a wheel design...

 

WTF did I miss... Elephants??? Good mode of transportation if you live in Africa I guess...

 

we could tell you but, then we'd have to kill you

 

i personally like Jason D's rims. a nice 5 spoke dished wheel would look pretty sweet.

 

You heard all the talk about the weight of the 5th gen, turns out it will be as heavy as a elephant. But it should sport a nice trunk.

Thanks folks, be sure to tip your waitress.
