They look good, but they would be way too skinny for me... 255's? How wide is the actual wheel, is it 8 or 9"? If it is 9", I'd hurry up and burn those off and get some 275s to put some meat on the car!

since you are asking for opinions, I really dislike the look of those. They actually cheapen the look of the car and take away from the performance styling of a Camaro. Sorry

Ditto.

As long as you're happy, don't worry about it. Lower it though, it will clean the look up some...

Have any pics from the rear or the front at ground level? I don't particularly care for the style, but I've also seen worse. I'm just wondering (as are others) if they look too skinny. I saw a Vette drivin down the road while I lived in Florida that was riding on what appeared to be very nice rims...until I saw it from the back. They looked to be 7-8" wide wheels, and it just looked all wrong. Wheel width on these cars (and nearly any car for that matter) makes the biggest difference IMO.
