Are they the actual GM wheels? If so, you are already running at least 1" spacers in the rear, right? As far as bringing the fronts out, it's hard to tell because the pics are so dark, but overall looks good.

i wouldn't go with spacers, I think they look nice just how they are. I kinda wish I had the GM ones, but for the $$ i paid, I'll take the repros any day!

Replicas would fit better anyways due to the correct offset.

Don't think that the angular wheels go with the smooth lines of the F-body.

Looks sick, now tell us what you did for the rear spacer wise. Since I know Teri has one, and we'd need the BFH mod along with it....

It took me a while to get used to the combo too. In fact, it took me a while to warm up to the entire C6 design. But when I finally saw it in person, I was a fan. I think the C6 wheels give the Fbody a contemporary look. The new Z06 rims would really be nice on an Fbody in black or grey, but no doubt they will also be significantly higher in price, even used.

A lot of people have said the same thing about mine, but I really agree, they "update" the camaro. Tons of people think they're just aftermarket wheels, cause there aren't too many C6's around here rollin on 'em. Mine are polished though, and are a pain to keep clean, are yours chrome?

yes they are chrome. i gotta charge my camera and then ill post some better pics. i barely had to hammer anything in the rear and it has like a .5 cm spacer ring (hardly anything). offset is 55 or 58 (i forget). the stock offset is +79 in the 19", this is why teri had a tough time.

edit: for keeping your wheels clean, upgrade to ceramic brakes (Akebono etc) and wax those polished rims often so dirt wipes off w/ a microfiber.
