Damn son, they are going to look BAD *** for sure. I like concave wheels, but for me, without "lip" they just don't look all that great. Can't wait to see what yours look like. Make sure to post up pics in here and make a whole other thread too.

Thanks for the compliments guys...I took a risk on these and glad they turned out as good as they did.

Some more pics.



WOW Look!

Glad to see the 3rd gen is getting some attention. Ive seen it in person and its by far the best 3rd gen around. Perfect candidate for Camaro Performers IMO. Looks good and goes fast.

I thought I did this but I guess not. So here is the picture update. Sorry for the cell pics. I will get better ones with the SLR when I get a few minutes and start the thread with those.

I settled on full polished with clear coat for easy maintenance.

I'm hoping to do the same with the black concave look soon as well. I'm hoping it will settle my need to think I need to have a GTR or something 100k+ to have the same looks.

These are 18x10 +42 in the front and 18X11 +43 in the rear. I will get some more pictures this week in the daylight. I was running out of light in these.

I did have to hammer the rears and tweak the panhard just a bit, but these fit like a glove with the 315/35/18 Hoosiers on.

These are BMW E359 Factory Concave wheels on my last 91 LSx Swapped "Formula" which are not aftermarket but are available as aftermarket MIRO 111's. Some hate'em, some love'em.
