Default Ive never been a fan of big wheels. But thanks to OEWheels i am now truly happy :)

So when i got my Camaro roughly 6 months ago it came with a 20" rims all around and a 2 inch drop. I wasnt a big fan of them but like an ugly step child i learned to love them. Right up until the point that i had a flat and spent over $750 to mount two rear 305/25/20 tires and that was with a hook up. So i saved my pennies and call Scott at OEWheels So after a little bit of BFH mod and rolling the fenders i fit a set of deep dish ZR1 wheels

heres the before







And the amazing after!









So on that note thanks to Scott and Lance for making a great company. Definetly great customer service and would even recommend my mom to buy wheels from u guys lol

Good choice! And the angle you took photo's of your new wheels is perfect!

I bet it rides/handles a lot better too!

Actually, the old 20's don't look that bad on there. I've seen much worse.

But the setup now is much better and you'll be able to kepe the price of tires down too.

Yea the ride is soooo much smoother. Still need to get new shocks though. The front sits flush I'll take more pics tomorrow once I wash it.

The 20's really didn't look that bad, but I like the way it looks now. Like it's ready to stomp some ***!

It probably is a hair faster now that all the wheel's weight has been brought 1.5'' closer to the axle.
