Default new to forums- looking for wheels

hello, i'm new to the forums but frequent camaroz28.com. i broke my neck last august and am now in a wheelchair so i can no longer get into my suburban and i don't drive the camaro often. i am now trying to hunt down an 06-07 ss because i'm able to load my chair fairly easy and plus they're sexy cars.

looking for feedback on black 20" inch wheels and tires (20x8.5 and 255/35/20) for 06-07 s
- place to purchase? online or other i.e. discount/belle tire
- brand
- fitment/ride quality
- trying not to spend more than $1400 mounted, balanced, shipped.

i've been online and found a few package deals in my price range, but i guess what it boils down to is service and reputation. so where should i be looking?

thanks in advance for any input and feel free to post pics of black 20's on 06-07's. i'm leaning towards a silver or white ss so if anyone has pics with black wheels that would be great.

*edit* how do put a pic of my camaro in my sig? thanks.

You have came to the best place. I got me wheels at $1600 from
www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com
I called them and asked what will fit my car and they guided me perfectly. I have 20x7.5 inch Gianelle V5 wheels with black caps so I can ride in chrome or black wheels. My tires are Falken 255/35z/20, They ride smooth and I don't bottom out, I have a 1 inch clearence between my tire and fender. I went bigger in diameter with a low profile tire and no change in my width of my wheel or tire. 40,000 miles are my tire life expectancy and they perform great through heat, cold, or rain.

Very good question, I have to remove the center chrome lug nut cover first and then I take out my bolts on the outer area of my wheel and place my black cap over the chrome, I insert a middle bolt to hold the center and then I take my long set of bolts and insert them throughthe whole's on the outer area of my cap into the outer area of the rims, my bolts on the outer area of the wheel are functional for this purose. It takes a half an hour to do all four rims with alot of car not to scratch them or tighten too hard so I don't crack my plastic. It definately the greatest way to have the chrome or black look.
