Okay, last pair and I should eventually stop bugging you guys:
Here's the most classic look I've seen yet that doesn't have too much of the boring, conventional 5-spoke look to it:
Spoiler!
I actually wonder if that goes too far towards that classic, conservative styling. And a darker set that I think looks nice but may not pop enough around everything else. Then again, that may be a good thing.
Spoiler!
What intrigues me a bit about that matte grey is that I have those silver/grey racing stripes rather than the white nose stripe on that car. They're superman silver when the sun blasts them but those wheels will pop in the sun, too. Meanwhile, in slightly overcast or shade, they look mostly like a crisp gray that might look damn nice with those. |

And I completely disagree with you on the dished look for a classic. It's easily one of the most sought after looks on a classic, and one of the hardest looks to achieve because unlike newer cars, it's hard to maximize the backspacing to achieve it (depending on the car of course). |

Lots of exposed lugs these days. Seems like it wasn't too terribly long ago that nobody was making that kind of wheel anymore. Interesting to see folks going back to them.

Where I'd probably run into an issues is, as noted, my car's a bit of a bitch in the front so I'd probably have to roll the hell out of the fenders to make 'em fit. Now we're just more $$ into the job. |

Shameless plug incoming:
Im good friends with the guys over at Motoroso. Motoroso is a start up company based out of San Diego that aims to fuse enthusiasts with fabrication shops and re-sellers. I can go on and on about what they offer, but I'll spare you. Instead, use their search function for inspiration. It's a fantastic library and a great way to view a collection of vehicles all in one place. For you, DJ, it's a great way to see different style wheels on 1st gen Camaros. Check it out! https://www.motoroso.com/?query=%2767+Camaro Last edited by ToxSocks; 04-20-2017 at 12:15 PM.. |

What's neat about it is that, depending on the car, the image is interactive. Some images will contain videos that showcase the products seen on the car, some may just have hyperlinks for the product that reverts to their site.

I'll have to play around with that. Given the amount of time I've pissed away on this adventure over the last day, I will probably need to try to actually work this afternoon but then again, that might not happen anyway.
