Default I usually don't do this, but I want some opinions on wheels for the 67.

I have three different sets of wheels, all of which I really really like for the 67 Camaro.

I want everyones opinion, I know someone said to get different wheels so I did.. and here they are.

First up, the Scion body kit wheels:









And these:









These are what was on it:









So, what do you guys think?

I would go with the scion(the first) and the last ones(muscle car rims). They ft the car better. I like the scion bk rims the best tho. Nice camero btw.

I like the BK rims, but my 67 Camaro looks bad with the Barricade rims painted silver

I don't believe I've ever seen this. Pictures? Is yours lowered like mine?

I'm leaning to the first and last myself, but can't choose.. maybe I need to clean up the BK wheels and get them to shine a little more.. I really like how the last set just kind of pop out with the shine, but I like the BK wheels because of the rear tires being pushed out more, which is exactly what the car needed in the back.

I like the last set better. The tC ones are more for tunners, they look good, just not as great as the last ones. Put some drag slicks on the rear, and it would be sick. But turn them inside out, so the fat part is facing inside where it cant be seen. You can put those tires on w/o the lift clip.

Would definitely need a better pic, but that looks pretty good from the one provided.

It's hard to choose..

I went ahead and put all the BK wheels on it for now.

Like this:







Edit: These are the new look, just put them on all 4 corners and I really like that, more than the BK wheels. Not sure what to use those on, maybe the NSX?

Edit again: Yeah, they look nice on the NSX. Yes, the NSX still needs finished.. shut up.

Keep the current rims, and paint the spokes red:

It looks really good with these wheels. I just used some Testors Red model paint. It's lasted 2 years so far. Also kinda smooths out the shape of the spokes a bit too.

Yeah, in the middle picture they actually look round almost. Looks really cool. I'm going to try this out, I need to get all new paint though.. all of mine is messed up, sat for too long I guess.

Definitely a negative for the BK. My NSX is all smooth baby, got rid of that BK ricer look. Surely you've seen the other pics of it?



I'll have to get some pictures of the lowering for you, not sure how to explain it.

Edit: Lowering picture:



And then to lower the rear I just took off the rear clip and shaved it down with a dremel.

Shave a little and then set it on the chassis and check things out. Definitely don't want to go to far. Nice thing about this way, you can easily raise it back to stock. Either get the lift clip for the rear, or space the stock one out, and put the front clip in the lower hole. Very easy to do.

You might have to shave some on the front bumper as well, the clip might interfere with it.
