I know what you mean I have the $ but had other plans for it but I've really been think about swaping out my 17x9.5's TT II's for 18's this is a tough one. The price is killer
Trust me these wheels will look sick on any camaro you dont need a ton of pics. I have plenty of pics of my 17x9.5's and 18's look even better IMO.
Tom how long will you be running this group purchase? I have to think about this but I may not want to miss out on it.

There is not that much of a difference IMO between a good polished wheel and chrome, polished looks better again IMO. The only thing chromed on TT II's are the spokes the rest of the wheel is polished the outer lip and the inner barrell are all polished unless it has changed recently. To answer your questsion I have polished. If I decided to go with these I will more than likely get the chrome this time for the minimual extra just for ease of maintence on a DD. If you look on summit of jegs they charge much more than $100 more for a set of 4 chromed TT II's its closer to $100 a wheel.

Because you said you needed pics and I'm a nice guy I did some searching heres some pics of 18's on a few 4th gens. These pics are making me want them more and more.
I know there are a few more pics of this car that are much better but this is all I could find.
18x10's all the way around

nice find jonb thanks!
are those all 18x8 and 18x10 combos?
i know that the stocks camaro wheels are 8" wide and they sit way inside the fenderwell. my question is: does anyone know if the 18x8 tt2's backspacing/offset are set to be flush with the fender? i dont want to get the 18x8s and it still sits way inside the fender. i want it flush...
thanks in advance!

I would put a 285 atleast on the rear for the 18x10's. The 275's might look a bit narrow.
On mine which were ordered just this last year have everything chrome except for the hoop. I've never heard different on this.
I forget what offset I have in the rear but Tom at Tomzwheels help me nail down a great offset so I would suggest giving him a call and asking.

I have 295's on mine actually. I'm very happy with the rear width and how it looks as well.
When I speak of the "hoop", I am referring to the ring of the wheel. Like if you knocked out the entire center of the wheel, spokes and all, and have just the outer circle left. Hope that makes sense.

will the chrome part part and the polished part start looking different over time? will you be able to tell the difference after you give the hoop a really good polish?

Up close you can tell a slight different in finish but it's not distracting in the least. I never look at them and say "yea, it def looks different". I don't DD the car and I keep it spotless 99% of the time so the aluminum finish it always very well kept.

Easier than all polished. All I did was put a coat of Rejex on the wheels when I got them and wash them wish soap and water with a soft brush. I haven't even polished them yet. Polishing a lip is easy, doing in the spokes and such is a bit more involving.
