The reason the 20's on Silver UltraZ's Camaro look good IMO is because of the added GFX. The GFX make the car 'larger' and add a bit more to the length of the wheel arch. (*btw nice spoke design).
agreed, he really pulled it off and has a nice looking car.

I dunno man, I could see where the owner is trying to go with that wing:





I mean A ricer wing to me is when its on a FWD car serving no other purpose than to hold that trunk lid down so the fart pipe doesn't rattle it off.

true enough, each person has the right to do whatever they want to their vehicle if it makes them happy.

but that doesn't mean that other people don't have the right to state their opinion that it looks like ***, what with free speech & all.....

I remember one from back in the day that I really liked it was from another camaro z28 site. I think his name was crckheadmatt or something like that. He had 19x9.5's and 20x10.5 HRE's. I thought it looked amazing. Just ignore one of the more upstanding items attached to his car in the back. Here is his cardomain. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/128312

OOps his SN was CrkHedMatt

people have different taste. your wheels dont look bad, but their not something i would spend a lot of money on to have. My Z06 wheels on the other hand, i love. people cant talk crap about them cause their a Corvette wheel. tons of people have them, just cause their oversized doesnt mean their ghetto. and the 20" Z06 wheels are few and far between on camaros. i know of 1 other person with them.

and my 96 SS has 19's, i have kinda grown away from them, but they still look better than the stock 16" zr1's

That is about the same size I am running...
19x9.5 and 20x11.5, but I am trying to fit them without a mini tub.
I will find out soon if they will clear my "Messaged" inner fenders

Thumbs up

I like the 20s with the right wheel style. And at least their not 13" Dayton's sticking out of the wheel wells.
