Guys, please do not lower that Camaro and put those stupid 18 plus inch wheels on it! I swear more cars have been ruined in the looks department by those silly wheels than anything else. If anything, buy some strong yet lighter 14 or 15 inch wheels and find yourself some light weight racing tires. Not sure if they make them for street cars but F1 teams look into every aspect of unsprung weight.  

By the way, why cant I undo text changes, I cant get rid of the underline?

BUT, Rally wheels look H-E-A-V-Y.  And they are way, way, way overexposed. 


Yet most popular aluminum styles are over done, too (e.g. Torque Thrust IIs) or look too "modern" (Centerlines, Convopros, Weld, American Racing Outlaw/Outlaw II, CNC billet "tuner" wheels, machined "high-tech" five-spokes with a bunch of fake rivets, etc.)


American Racing CL200s, 200s (the "daisy spoke" wheel)  or the Silverstone (looks like the Minilites often used on First-gen SCCA Trans-Am Camaros) would be better choices.  


16" should be the absolute minimum and 17" the maximum diameter on anything other than a restoration or a pro-streeter (unless 18s are absolutely necessary for brake clearance).   Leave the ugly, balloon-tire 14s to the restorers and the rat-rodders.
