have some Bogarts or something ready to roll.
Dan, most of these kids were still riding in the back of the school bus dreaming about a driver's license 10 yrs ago. When I was already running 11s in an LS1 f-body. LOL!

i like the wheel choice, although i think i would prefer 20's.. Definately a good choice on the wheels though.
Not sure how anyone else feels about it but i kinda like the look of the 2010 with some CCW's... I do think i would stick close to 20" on just about any wheel choice though

Looks good! With the big wheel openings these cars need big wheels to look good. Atleast for the drag racers they won't have to modify the rear to fit a tall set of slicks.

Looks fantastic. I hate the thought that they are 22"!!! But I must admit they look right at home on that car. So I'd say the hate stems from how freaking big that car is.

You guys kill me. I really don't give a rip how many sets of wheels you have for the car, the 22s are still huge and several others agree. It doesn't matter what the wheels are for.

Also, I don't need to remember who he is, I really don't care, he is just another guy who is into cars to me. I don't give a crap how many cars someone has owned.

Nine Ball:

Can you supply weight figures for your 22" combo vs. Factory 20's or other aftermarket equivalents? The GMPP 21's, for instance...

Thanks!

Big rims for a big car. Honestly anything less than a 20" rim will look out of place on the new camaro.

There is going to be people that like the way the car looks with the new rims on it, some are not going to like it. Nineball has to expect that for sure, I'm sure he has been around this block more than 100000000000000000 times.

For the guys saying that if you don't like it don't say nothing, gee like you have never gone into somebodies thread and disagreed with what some people said. We all have.

Do I personally like the big rims, no, but on the new camaro the rims Nineball has on the car makes it look good.

Cant say i agree in the choice of a 7 spoke wheel but i think they look good.

These cars have so much more body than the 4th gen. Most of these people on here with 4th gen. cars are so used to 19" wheels being the "biggest" they'd would go.

The factory wheels are 20" so its like some one sticking some 18"s on their
02' Z28. No one poked fun at that.

Just my .02

In the end ......id LOVE to own it
