Default New look, Never before seen wheels for the Camaro

Well guys I normally run around on 17" zr1s with drag radials and will keep those wheels for track days and going out to play on the street but I found out our cars have the same offset and bolt pattern as the 2006-08 3 series BMWs which opened up huge wheel possibilities and as youll see from pics definatley something different than anyone else currently has! These are 19x9.5 which I am going to have widened to 11s if I can source a tire that will fit. Wheel brand is VMR and have been powder coated in a solar satin black. As soon as I get the car cleaned up Ill post more pics with front wheels on as well. Hope you like. (Sorry for Phone Pics)

Wheels look good but tires are too narrow for my taste.

19's were $999 without tires. I can get 18's for $799. Proably be $100 a wheel to widen to an 11" so for the most part not to bad for a light weight great looking wheel!!
