Maybe if your Camaro was 30 years older.

I'm sorry, but those don't look good at all.

First, that looks like 60's Ford Wheel, and 2nd, the white letters DEFINITELY shouldn't be out.

Just my .02 though, but if you like them, hey it's your car, who cares what we think??

If you keep them, I'd lose the white letters, and find a centercap with a "SS" logo on it.

The black accents don't help the look. These wheels would look much better without them.

Default Hot Wheels

On first glance, they look like Hot Wheels. On closer look, is that a Hot Wheels logo on the center caps? Anyway, I THINK I understand the look with the wheels and white letter.

the white letters on the tires kills the look of the wheels.i would also paint the black accents red or just take them off if possible

I think they look great, they give your car a vintage feel, especially with the tan top. I wouldn't change anything.. Don't let anyone else fool you, they're just upset you didn't get TT2's

The white letters kills it, without that, it'd look 10x better. May still not be good to most, but it would be better.

If you had a black top/mirrors/badges/etc, the wheels may have something to go with, but they seem like they're hung out to dry right now.

Don't listen to this guy at all.

Do you have the oem rims? I know it could be very expensive and difficult to find and buy nice wheels for f-bodies in the UK.

I can respect your attempt at retro styling, with the rally wheel look and white letter tires. I just do not think the wheels match very well with the car. But, I'm sure a convertible SS in the United Kingdom gets just as much attention as a Ferrari!

I really think that if you stipped off the black and had them polished they would look alot better. thats what i would do if i accidentally (lol) owned them. i you dont ,run away from them
