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? I like it slammed or not and you definitely got the best color, IMHO.

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!

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.

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.
