Thats beautiful. If you dont mind, where did you get them from?

I dont have a camaro anymore but I have a friend looking for a nice set of wheels and this may be them.

Although I do have a bunch of stuff left over from the camaro. So sad

I honestly believe this is one of the nicest birds I have seen yet. I been around a long time (dont let the signup information fool you) and I think you hit perfection in each way. Kudo's to you sir.

If you are ever in the market to move her, let me know. I may be interested in taking it off your hands

Here are some real deep *** concave wheels. The brand is Kompression and I think these are on-off wheels with a 7 inch lip. The rear wheels are 20x13. I'd love to see a set of these on a WS6.

Can't do a deep dish and a lip on WS6 with a factory offset rear. I just went through this with forgeline which look a lot like these. Can do a 2 1/4 deep dish with a 1" lip. You will see the shallow dish and 2 1/2" lip on my car here in a few months. I should be ordering them in the next few weeks.

Yeah, I know, I just saw that car and thought I'd post it up. The only way I would do a concave wheel is if I could do it like the ones on that Mustang. I think they look great, but it would take an aftermarket rear and likely some major work done to widen the fenders in order for it to work on a F-Body. That Mustang also had the rear fenders widened by 3 inches.

No way I'd run a wheel like the one on that mustang. With that lip those things will bend like they are butter. Deep lips are cool, but you get to a point to where they become too weak when combined with a short sidewall. Those really should have had a step lip in order to maintain strength. The tires on there offer no sidewall to help cushion a big impact.

The front looked good but the dish in the rear is to exaggerated IMO.

Limitations are on the rubber not the wheel. If you making that much power and can still stick the tire then you'll probably need bead locks anyway.

This is the first car I've seen that these wheels actually look really good on! For some reason, they don't look very good on Vettes and F-bodies IMO.

I have to disagree with you on the F14 not looking good on f-Bodies. I think they give them a little more modern and different look. This is only my opinion. I do agree that the V look great with them

Well, I narrowed my rear by 2.5" per side and just placed the order for Forgeline deep concaves with a 3.5" outer lip. We will see how it looks in about 5 weeks!
