i personally like the chrome look. i've recently bought some tezzen strucks and think they look really good. chrome isn't the best way to go if you're wanting light weight wheels, but they do have a great aesthetic, imo. you just about can't go wrong with them—chrome tends to make just about any car look better. but the ones you posted earlier and the baccarat ones JusBringIt linked to are really nice options also. i was looking at some of the baccarats when i was shopping for my new wheels—i didn't think the gold would look too good with my blue car tho, and they all seemed to have some gold on them.

i think wheel shopping is kinda hard tho. really hard to picture what they will look like on your car. altho there are some sites out there that have "virtual" cars on them that you can place the wheels they sell on, it's sometimes hard to find those sites with avengers/sebrings on 'em. plus, the car usually looks like crap and the wheel selection is very limited.

my opinion is something chrome for your car. the chrome will look good with the gold. my personal aesthetic is big, wide spokes (like the strucks). i think they give the car a lil bit more of a "high-end" look—if that's what you're going for. i also prefer wheels with lips on them, and when i was getting the strucks the fwd ones had a lip, but for whatever reason they stopped making them with one when i got mine. just to forewarn ya, the images of that particular wheel are not updated on most sites and will show a lip. (of course, i could be thinking about the rwd version of the wheels, but i was told that the fwd ones had a lip as well—but then again, i coulda been lied to). heres a link that has the strucks and an image of them on a jaguar: http://superbuytires.com/gallery/view/Jaguar/S_Type/Tezzen/Struck/11804/

you def need to shop around and try to find a secure, reliable site tho (that was just one that i found when i did a quick google search). but, of course, i'm sure you already realize that. hope some of this helps in your desicion making.

mine are 18's. as for color for the camaro...obviously something that brings out the car. personally i like black on silver/chrome. sunburst orange and black really brings out a camaro. every other color to me is basically dull and boring.. i like a nice two tone as u can probably tell.

so i went to another local tireshop today and i was lookin at rims and then the sales guy asked me what they were for and i said and i said i wanted to go with 18s and he said i should not because the roads are bumpy around here.  the sales guy said that they could bend easier.  is that true?  i dont think the roads are that bad around here, there are some back ones but i dont drive on them..but all the other shops that i have went to did not say anything like that..........so which really sound like the guy does not know.

i wouldn't worry about it either. i've got 18s and sc has some of the roughest roads i've driven. i'm yet to have any problems outta mine. you'll wanna do the common sense thing and not go barreling 100mph into a crater or anything, but you should be fine with the 18s. and they'll look sweet on your ride too.

well..good things come w/ patience...found that out the hard way...and i will have to wait till nex year to get everything done. il be experimenting this winter though...which reminds me...my cousin just bought a honda civic...should i use his car for a beater car?>.o btw his tires got slashed...i kno what ur thinking I DIDNT DO IT!!...anyway...its obvious the owner before was ricing it...as usual..and i feel bad...cuz my cousin knows nothing about cars basically..and went by himself...he bought it two weeks ago..and i just got to see it three days ago...and we live in the same building. he wasnt able to drive it home after which it started falling apart on the inside..console..radio....airbag...u kno the rest. the color is like aquamarine i think...its the closest thing i can think of. and of course it comes w/ the usual honda muffler...its a 92 and he paid 2300 for it...im thinking....what i coulda done w/ that money....o well..if u want pics ...yeah u want pics..ill take some pics n load and scan...an i will include the concept...ill smooth it out a bit.

oh my............i better be  patience then..........i will look over the winter.............i will tell you about a story that i had to learn patiences. i went on vaction to watch some drag races.  so before we left the water pump barring was starting to make a lot of noise so we replaced it.  drove around town for about 300 miles before we left and then we left and put over 400 miles on it.  we got to town the first day we check in at the motel and went to the races then came back and same thing the next morrin, then it came to the third day so we went to BK for breakfast and of couse they breakfast time is diffrent then the one in my town so they did not have any breakfast food so we orderd from the reg menu and eat then we were heading down to the track and the WATERPUMP which we just replace went out............about 400 miles from home.  So we pull over and call to get a new one....they dont have any.....im glad it was not my car, it was my moms suzuki sidekick.  So we call the tow truck.  they could not get one from that town for some reason so we watied for about 2 hrs to get one.  then the town truck came and then we loaded up the car and got back to the hotel and took apart the waterpump and found out what was wrong.  Try to fix it and got it fixed and then drove another 20-30 miles before we leave and it worked....so we got up the next day and got packed up and then hit the road.......about ten miles out of town.  Guess what??? the water pump went out again.........had to sit at phillips 66 gas staton for 11 hours then are ride got there.  they brought down a tow dolly and there was a part missing on that.......found something at lest that worked...... Got home and we order a NEW water pump.  never order or buy a REMAN waterpump.....they will go out......
