Love em. Excellent choice! 
Like my new wheels?
not really diggin them either. yes they are different i suppose, so props for doing that i guess. tires looks too tall or something. definitely lower it and sell the hood. that will make it look lots better. its your car and as long as YOU like them then thats all that really matters.

Its your car, if you like them thats all that matters. At least your dont have Torq Thrusts(Like me), ZR1s(Like Everybody), or Vette wheels(Like everybodys mother). Good to see something different.

The only choice I had for these rims. They get wider for the 18" and 20" style. Neither of which I wanted or felt like spending the $$ on. The rubber really isn't "BULGING." I think the stock wheels where way 'bulgier'

Yeah I know the sunoco hood, just didn't know the name. See them ALL THE TIME. They're ok but common. BTW, I bought the car with that hood. I'd rather do other things that spend a thousand +\- on another hood and paint job. The only thing I don't like about my hood is that it catches water on the front of the scoop. That's not enough to justify ditching it though. Not a big deal

Hmm. I'll be sure to make the neccessary adjustments next year. Just took a better look and they have a bulge. Still not that bad though. It does look worse in the picture and I see what yinz are talking about.

I have the stock 18x8 wheels on my G8 with the stock tire width of 245, and the tires stick out slightly. If you look at most tires & wheels the tires do stick out a little bit. With 7.5" wide wheels his tires stick out 1/4" more than mine, which is hardly anything, so I don't see what the big deal is. I'd rather have the tires stick out slightly since it protects the wheels from curb scuffing.

Only a douche would do that without being asked what you think. Random compliments to strangers = OK. Random criticism to strangers = Douche. What makes your opinion so great? What makes you think anyone cares what you think? Unless they asked you...
sorry that's it. I'm not even sure lowering the car would help much. As for in person I have seen alot of crappy f-bodies here in town and usually if I see the owner I will tell them what i think.
For those "as long as you like it" soft souls out there....get a back bone. Obviously he like them, he bought'm. He asked for an opinion from 'the council' 
Drexyl - great color car, its a 'camaro, so the foundation is there. Cut your loses pick up a set of ZR1's and a Sunoco hood. AND FOR GOD'S SAKE DROP THAT THING...

ive heard this word to but never really thought about the spelling of it. that just doesnt look right lol. but i guess theres probably no "right" way to spell it.
