2010 Comaro Rims on a '69......what do you think?
I finally got around to having these rims photoshop'd on my truck. What do you think?

Nope. The ones you've got on the top pic are perfect, though.

New wheels look good but I'm with the others you've got a perfect look going with the cragers, and I don't even like cragers but they look just right on your truck with that stance. Keep what ya got.
Use the camaro wheels on the next build |

Re: 2010 Comaro Rims on a '69......what do you think?
The Camaro wheels are 20's... I think that they would look a lot bigger on that truck than what the Photoshop is depicting...

Re: 2010 Comaro Rims on a '69......what do you think?
I'll be the contrarian and say I like the Camaro wheels about 100 times better. I also hate how Cragars rust by merely looking at them.

Re: 2010 Comaro Rims on a '69......what do you think?
Thanks guys. But, I am tired of the cragars, had them 11 years now.
The camaro rims arent in proportion to the truck, i'm lousy at photoshop. I want to go 20"s, but would like to go with a stock chevy wheel. These rims are 5x4.75 and I would have to check the backspacing. I am about to go with a new rearend, bigger disks in the front and rear disks. Since everything will be changing, I wanted to set it up for a new set of rims. The paint is soon to change too, so my question was more general as to how does everone think they look on the 67-72 trucks? Maybe someone else better than i at photoshop can put them on a different truck. Last edited by dznucks; 02-28-2011 at 01:02 PM. |

Re: 2010 Comaro Rims on a '69......what do you think?
I dont think they will work unless you do some changes, our wheels are 5x5. (Someone chime in if I am wrong).

Re: 2010 Comaro Rims on a '69......what do you think?
I will surely get 'd for this but I would not want those wheels on anything. That new Camaro is butt-ugly from the get-go and I am sure GM could have done a lot better job in at least trying to come up with something that even vaguely resembled it's '60's namesake but then again that is why it was a "Transformer"...it morphed into a corporate abortion....oh yeah, keep the Cragers

Re: 2010 Comaro Rims on a '69......what do you think?
I like the camEro wheels on a truck that didn't have the trim better. The trim makes your truck look classic and should kinda stick to a classic style wheel. Just my opinion. Nothing wrong with some big tt2s or salt flats.

Re: 2010 Comaro Rims on a '69......what do you think?
I'll add a +1 for the camaro wheels, simple, clean and a little sporty, if you can get them to work I'd go for it, what's the worst that can happen, you have to put the old rims back on

I have yet to see a wheel from a late model, that looks right on anything but a late model.

I like that style of wheel, but think your wasting a lot of effort to run them. I agree that a 20 will look awesome on the changes you have described, but there are a LOT of wheels that available with the correct pattern and back space. I know this look nothing like your truck, but it will give you an idea of what that style of wheel will look like on a smoothed out truck.

Re: 2010 Comaro Rims on a '69......what do you think?
grey silver pewter..... Please don't overlook the pearl light brown they're putting on the newer silverados! If my truck wasn't an original black truck it'd be getting that color.
seems like too much work to make the camaro wheels work. It'd be easier just to get a similar wheel from the aftermarket. |

Re: 2010 Comaro Rims on a '69......what do you think?
If thats the case I still wouldn't use the cammy wheels. Maybe a Coy with the center spokes painted a contrasting color. Or somthing else there's plenty of companies that make a flat spoked wheel that is similar to the cammy wheels and would look good with what your discribing. I'm pretty sure your going to have to change the spread pattern or run adapters. Cammy wheels have an almost 0 offset and your truck looks good with a deep dish in the rear. Say no to the cammies plus I bet those wwill cost some coin. JMO
