Great, and I hope you have to corner at one point so I can laugh at you. Have fun with a car that handles worse then a K5. Besides it being pointless to drive on the street, can you please explains why you would drive around with pizza cutters on the front 24/7?

My car, my choice.. I have 18x10's for all 4's too, but I prefer the look of the pizza cutters. It's not like I drive around the country with them on. Just for cruisin around town, my car is not a DD.. You drive what you like, I'll drive what I like..

It doesn't look stupid because it was DESIGNED with larger wheels in mind. I don't think GM anticipated people slapping on silly, over-sized wheels when they came up with the 4th gen f-body in the 90s, and quite possibly earlier.

I absolutely hate 20s on all previously pictured cars. If you like them, great! You're entitled to your opinion and taste.

i dont think the new camaro wheels look that bad but i still think 20s were an overkill. if you want to stroll around on your awesome 20s i could care less.

that's what sucks about a good part of members here they run thei mouth about tire feel cornering feel on something they never experienced.........the profile of my tires puts me a few milimeters over stock diameter tire that came with my fbody..... its ok to have 20s if its a ccw rim or if its from a moderator or somebody popular.....the new camaro has 20 and now they run their month saying that it was desighned for it...bullshit the opening is as big in the 4th gen....

having a billion options when it comes to rims in any size its really sad how you can run ur mouth when u have stock rims ...as far as performance again if u have no idea why are u talking.... in a straight line in the street I have no problem running with other ls1's with my mods or similar......as far as track I personally have not have the chance to go but when I go I'm sure ill just throw some track rims and tires.....as many people do that have aftermarket rims....i don't imagine that I'm in a race everyday to have track rims on at all times....

I never usually write back to people that jump on a bash other people or judge them on there taste ....i was on this site when people hated cars with 18 and those are ok now 19s are cool.. ill probably be a few years before 20s are cool let's just wait for the popular guys get them and then we all be cool again.......too each their own ..if like it rock it rather be bashed for having somthing different than for being a lemming

I am curious to see how your car comes out once you get the new wing and rk sport kit on. I like the 20's you have. I believe you are lowered on hotchkis. You may want to go a little lower like some strano's. Just a thought.

thanks......that was always my plan to go to that setup but just money was in the way..my dad gave me that wwing back in 2000 when i had my lt1 which i traded for this, he thought it was a good idea to have it painted and put on my ls1 never had the heart to take it out until like a few months ago...now ive saved up to have the kit painted and the wing should come in before g13 as well as painted frc's, strut bar and corsa tips.......money and new house has made the process even slower.....now have me a second job runing parts on my days off to finish up my car hopefully by g13, it is a hotckis drop any lower and i might rip another set of tires so i think ill leave it for now as is
