Default The maroon Camaro that’s really low
Lol, just came across the thread. As to the Maroon Camaro that’s LOW, it’s on a custom combination of BMR arms, QA1 coilover and Eibach Springs. It’s dropped close to 3.5 inches and it is static

Just bumping this thread, had gotten some 17s FM5s before I sold the car. They were brushed/polished centers before i painted them silver due to some peeling. Absolutely loved the look.
