A Camaro is perhaps one of the most distinctive of the muscle cars or performance cars that dates back to September of 1966 when it first hit the market. The Camaro was the Chevrolet answer to the Ford Mustang, but today’s model is much more like a sporty coupe.
Regardless of what style, age or model of Camaro you drive, upgrading to aftermarket Camaro wheels and ditching the standard OEM wheels is an easy way to give it a different look.
Various combinations and looks in Camaro wheels and body color give a completely different overall impression of this car. This is true for both the old muscle car as a restored vehicle as well as with the different trim levels on the coupes rolling out of the dealerships today.
Gray and Black with Graphite
With the low profile tires and the larger Camaro wheels, the gray colors of rims which may be called gunmetal, gray, graphite or anthracite are a great match for the classic gray and silver paint jobs that are prominent on these vehicles. If they have the black paint accents across the hood, black wheels also make a great match.
These gray colors tend to be a matte look, which means they are easy to maintain and don’t show the road dust that will be evident on chrome or silver Camaro wheels.
White Body and Black Wheels
To give more of a sporty or performance type of look, a white body with black matte or glass Camaro wheels is a very striking look. White is a popular color in the new cars on the market today, and it is also a popular option when restoring the older cars as well.
Chrome Wheels on a Classic Camaro
The old school, multi-spoke, high flash and reflection of a great set of chrome Camaro wheels are very difficult to beat on the classic older cars. These rims do take a bit of care to keep polished and in great shape, but with new alloys and finishes they are very durable and will stand up to years of driving.
These chrome Camaro wheels are also a natural match on the new styles of Camaros. Another option is a black and chrome wheel with a more elaborate spoke, definitely adding the style without taking the attention off the sleek lines and look of power that is definitely a part of this classic car.
