Default red 2002 SS with C6 Wheels [pics!]

18/19 combo, lowered on eibach pro kit... just needs a bigger spacer/adapter in the rear and I will be set. What do you guys think?

I really like that look, although IMO the 19's in back look a little big for a Camaro.

I thought they looked WAY small when I first got them... Now they definitely look huge depending on the angle. I think when I powdercoat them another color they won't look so donk. Or maybe if I can make 19s work up front too. Then I just need 6 15's in the trunk, an AK-47 and a brick of weed in the backseat.

LOL there's a plane in another pic too. I was 5 miles from the airport and almost directly under a flight path. I didn't realize I caught it right in the cloud clearing in that picture though. Turned out kinda cool.

the whole front bumper is fucked. I've smacked so much **** on the freeways here it's unbelievable. Not much you can do but just run into it and hope it doesn't blow a tire out. Fixing the fog light and the front bumper has been LOW priority. Cheap to fix but doesn't bother me that much. Might pick up a fog light in the next month (it's been like this for over a year) and unless the whole car gets painted I will probably never fix the paint on the front.

The cars aren't. . . haha.

It's funny though because my girlfriend is 32. I haven't "seriously" dated a girl under 25 in years. Except the 19 year old rebounds.... gotta have those.

Thanks, it took me a few days for them to grow on me... then I finally washed the car (******* rain in AZ) and decided to see how it looks on camera. I like it so I think I'll keep them for a bit.

never know, I thought the 19s would look too big but they really don't... they look "normal" so to speak, especially for a wheel 2" larger than stock. It might look good.
