I agree

But how much does price decide your decision? Those are Boyd Coddington's correct? Chunk of change there?

The IROCs.

They are the best looking wheel design ever put on an automobile.

There has never been another car and wheel that goes together like a camaro and the IROC wheel.

They go together like peas and carrots. lol

Im not usually a fan of blingin aftermarket wheels, but the dictator does look very good. You can't go wrong with a classic 5 spoke wheel. However, If it were my money, I dont think i would shell out the insane amount for the boyd wheels... they look good Im just not sure they look much better if any than IROCs. I would do 17" as opposed to 18" too but thats just me.

not even a choice , dictator all the way ,the irocs are ok but if your gonan put rims on a car why not put something different than stock on , unless you want to keep it stock , but the problem is that they dont come in any widths wider than 8 inches , which is a turn off , so go with the boyds. Also dont wait to order custom rims as they take some time to make.

These cars are hard to choose wheels for in my opinion. Keep the ideas flowing - I am having a hard time deciding also.

IMO The dictators for sure - if you are going to customize then customize - too much of a stock looking replacement might not produce the desired affect for the effort.
