Not really diggin it at stock ride height, but lowering it makes the car. I think it looks great.

That goes for pretty much any car, right? Wheels and stance are the most important factors of any car.

Dude you go thru some sets of wheels, ever take a count on how many you have had total in the last like 10 years?:cheers: I like it slammed or not and you definitely got the best color, IMHO.:drive:

LOL! I'd have to sit down for a few hours to count up all the wheels I've had on cars. I like wheels so much that I became a dealer for several brands...just to get discounts. It is a sickness!

I don't think many cars with 22s look good, but your car looks pretty damn good with them actually. It deff. needs to be lowered but the over all look is spot on. The new Camaros just scream for at least 20s.

Too big - max size should be 20".
Don't like the rivets.
7 spokes are ricey - max should be 5 spokes.
Not enough sidewall.
Too much fender gap.
Wrong offset.
Looks bad without drilled & slotted rotors.
Ok, now that we got all the haterade comments out of the way, there is nothing left for anyone else to say...except that it looks badass!:cheers: :jest:

I wouldn't lower it quite as much as you did in the photoshop pics, but other than that it looks great.

I'm going to go with power-to-weight ratio then brakes.
But hey, I'm just a performance guy.:)
The car looks good Tony.
Personally, I'd have some 20" CCW 505a's.
But, your car looks good.

I think given the color combo you couldnt make that car look any better, minus the current ride height.

very nice!! I would maybe want maybe a 21 with 1" more sidewall though, but it does look great.

Tire selection sucks in 21". It is like the bastard stepchild wheel size, kind of like 16" wheels. No 315 wides, etc..

Very nice! I'm not a fan of big wheels, but 21-22's fit the size and scale of the Camaro.

i dont think that 22's look bad on the camaro since they already come with giant wheels anyway. Does anyone have pics of a drag setup on a new camaro?

everytime i see your car it just looks so damn good in that color, and because of the size of the car, the 22s just, and all those spokes really seem to fit that car....very well i might add.

I love the wheels, the only thing I would change about the wheels would be anodizing or painting the rivets.
The wheels just look right on that particular car. Nice ride!

Perfect combo there. Nice size and color. People will always hate especially the one's who think 18' and 19's are too big. Pics and cars look great.

The wheels are iForged and he is a dealer for them, so he ordered them direct.

They just don't look right. Makes the brakes look small. Would look a lot better with rotors that fill the wheel.

Just like the Ford GT, the new Camaro needs 22's to fill out the wheel well.
Car looks great!

damn that looks like sex. really nice, fronts look smaller than the rears? how wide did u go? read posts stating that cant go to wide in rear due to the suspension getting in the way, unless u run a spacer. looks damn sick though. love it.

Poster/ screensavers would be very cool. I'd love to see one with either car up front, and the other back 30-40 feet... So you focus on the car in front but know there is a cool car in the back ground. Heck you could do a shot with the G8 and call it the GM performance lineup.
Back to the Camaro, for some reason I really am digging this angle. If the wheel was turned a bit and the background was more neutral, even blurred out, this shot would be my screensaver. :)

I love wheels like that. The size looks good, but now you just need some huge brakes to fill out the wheels.
