Easy....

19" SSR GT3 rims look the best, if u can afford them, GET EM

also the Z06 rims look nice, but I would go with at least 19" for a show car.

Am I the only one who thinks the chrome ZO6 wheels look Awesome? I'm thinking 18x10.5 rear and 18x9.5 up front.

Cool! Another Type-T owner! I just ordered those wheels for my car. Here's some pics from Tireack.com:Wheel
Wheels on Camaro SS

The only other Type-T owner I know of is Tiago NOS'd Bird.

Chrome Z06 wheels look sweet as hell, not to mention the American Racing Torq Thrust IIs.

Mille Miglia MM11's look sweet too. My neighbor has 17s on his 95 lowerd Z28 vert.

It all comes down to personal taste though, there is no "best wheel".

Cool

I've had the corvette zr-1's (silver painted ones) since early '95 on my black '94 z28. Last week I switched to z06's (chrome). Huge difference!!! I could go with the TTII's but don't care for the work involved w/ polished wheels. Wish the TT II's were chrome; they would give the z06's a run for the $$$, IMO.

The Corvette Mallet wheels! Expensive, but very sweet. The SSR is a CHEAP alternative. (Not saying the SSR's are a cheap wheel as in not good wheels, just as far as price)

See them hereon several Camaro's at Berger's Site.

See them hereto buy in many different finishes.

After looking at each post/rim, I have definately decided to go with chrome Z06. I mean Z06 is an eye catcher for sure, and the chrome is for show use. You can't do better then Chrome Z06 man, get a pair. And if you don't like them, give me a shout, I'm looking for a pair.

Checkout CrkHeadMat's website. Those HRE 545(i think) are the sickest rims you can ever put on a f-body
