Re: Doobie Doobie Doo...

Dammit, i missed it too. I step away from the computer for a couple hours and look what happens. I miss something big.

Oh yes wheels. Not too many/not enough spokes. 5 is perfect. Something that doesn't cover up the rotor/caliper too much too.

Re: Doobie Doobie Doo...

I also like the salad shooters. Better than the 10-spokers my Zed came with.

But 5-spokes just look right on a high performance car. Even if a car has "heritage" styling (even if it has way too much heritage styling), the wheels should be contemporary.

Re: Doobie Doobie Doo...

I think chrome wheels are inappropriate for a Z/28.

I heard he might be working with a f-body competitor for a wheel design...
I think the wheels on the "elephant" are nice. I have always liked a good 5 spoke design. Has a good clean look too it.

how about some discussion of # of wheel packages. What is the possibility that there could be multiple to choose from? Should there be many to chose from? Will a Z28 wheel be a Z28 wheel, or one of many Z28 wheels?

Re: Doobie Doobie Doo...

I'd love to see a TT2 style rim from GM. Seeing as it's going to be retroish, why not go with the most classic looking rims that look good on almost any car?

Re: Doobie Doobie Doo...

I would think the z/28s wheels would be Forged aluminum, and be specific to the z/28. That is of course assuming that the z/28 is top, which is still not for sure. I think the wheels on the car in question that is causing such a stir on all the boards has nice wheels, but they don't seem to fit on a top Camaro. I have always liked the c5 y2k wheels, for the simpleness and the fact you get a nice look at the brake rotor and pads. This, of course, is all my opinion.

Too...much...tension... But that's what you get after waiting and talking almost 5 years on this board.

I like the wheels on the new Challenger.



Gongos was gray.

Re: Doobie Doobie Doo...

Elephants have legs, not wheels . Why do you care about wheels on an elephant anyways?
