Default SOM cars and rims

I know there are some existing/older treads, but looking for fresh opinions.
About to take delivery of a 2002 SOM Camaro w/ 19" Beyern rims.
Looking for something different. PICS PLEASE. The Beyern's will be for sale or trade very soon.

Thanks guys i'm a big fan too i believe they are 9.5" fronts 11" rear. I can't be certain as they were on the car when i got it. I assume it's 9.5" front since the 275's fit nicely without being stretched. They are some beefy wheels for sure I wish i knew the offset of them for sure.

First of all, nice catch - most folks don't even notice them. Thanks for the compliments.

Metal plate w/studs welded on the back to bolt in place of the stock mirrors, then an aluminum block behind the door skin to spread the weight of the vette mirrors. A few minor wire splices to make them work, and that's about it.

I used to have some webshots pics up of the before/after when I did the mirrors, but those vanished when webshots changed.

Here's a different shot with a closer view of the mirror:

And one more:

Fikse FM10's on the Camaro. Their F-body fitment I believe is 17x9.5 up front and 17x11 out back.
