Wheels 17" or 18"?
I am looking into getting some wheels for my 4th gen camaro. Should I go with 17" or 18" also chrome or polished? Also if someone has some pics of some different wheels that'd be great. Please don't recommend ZR1 or any corvette wheel. I want something different than everyone else that looks good. Thanks.

If you value the ride comfort, go with 17s. Believe me- they look good under the fender well, and are 5mm more comfortable on the streets! Here is a pic of 17s in the fender well:

18's. Having had both 18's and 17's (not back to back)...I can't really say there is a difference in ride comfort.

Dont get me wrong , I love 18s but I think that 17s look the best if its a straight street car. NO show or anything. you can make anything good with a set of TT2s

17's are good enough, but 18's are better. 18's fill out the wheel well a little better than 17's do. Oh and definitely go chrome.
