Man those snowflakes give camaros a "chick car" feel. I can't imagine anyone spending money to powdercoat them.

Ya those wheels are weak and the red lip makes it ricey since the lip is too thin.

The Myth Busters proved that you can actually polish a turd.

When I bought my car it came with chrome snowflake's. I hated them so much that I don't think I even took a single pic of the car until I got new wheels. I was so desperate to get them off the car that I replaced them with black 17x9 c5 z06's.

First of all great job on the PHOTOSHOP Vince! I had my snowflake's painted black with a lip. If you dont have the money to get rims I don't see the problem PAINTING them. Also the snowflakes are good to use at the track and are strong OEM wheels.

you work with what you have until you have the time and money...Ill post up pix later of my camaro with the snowflakes..

So... I was the one who requested the chop in the first place and it was more for a general idea of what the black wheel with red lip would like on my car. I did not actually plan on powder coating the snowflakes but may paint them now that I've seen this. It looks pretty good and in my opinion is an improvement over the stock silver. I think I might just have to rock this look temporarily.

I do plan on getting "nice" wheels next year ( DD C5's most likely ) but it's not in the budget at the moment because I am getting married in August. In case you guys don't know, weddings are expensive even when you do it cheap.

anyway Cheers to the Photoshop I really appreciate it
