Wheels for the 5th gen suck!

Am I the only one thats not a big fan of the Nissan 350Z knock offs that the 5th gens are sporting. If I am Im sorry. Im very excited and ready to own a 5th gen but im curious if there are other wheel options soon to be show available or if this is it and ill have to wait till next year??

I gotta say I like the ones they used on the LS7 car much better but the ones it comes with arent so bad.

I think they lool alright, not a huge fan of them, but they aren't horrible. I too like the ones on the LS7 a lot. They said they custom made those wheels for those cars, but I would like to see them be an option. My step dad's is going to have the 20" polished wheels on it.

The wheels on the Jr. SEMA car looked really good and they'll be offered from GMPP. I agree that aftermarket wheels are the way to go, who cares what the stock ones look like.

Ugly stock wheels is all more reason to buy aftermarket ones...

I mean....the 4th gen stockers were nothing special at all besides the ZR1s and SS 10-spokes.

Yah but the 4th gen also didnt cost $35K and I'd rather spend money on go-fast goodies before bling. I'm sure a nice aftermarket wheel will cost a pretty penny ... say about 100-200 horsepower's worth? (depending on taste of course)

I just checked the "polished wheel" option and I'll deal with it. But I would have liked to have had the option to choose those LS7 wheels!

Can we get some photoshops of different wheels in reasonable sizes on the new Camaro? I'd like to see some TTII's or CCW's, etc. on it.

I'm more concerned about the nasty-*** buslike steering wheel and nes style
hvac controls. But hey, this could all be over nothing if their supplier can't ship the interior . . .
