Why would we do that? Because of what you're driving? Dude, everyone's got their own tastes and there's no denying the 350Z is a looker. Otherwise, you're not bothering anybody so there's no reason to bash. Welcome to Camaro5, BTW.

Hey guys just to give you a place to look for rims. Check out "www.Americanracing.com" The selection is quite nice.

Not for the car but for suggesting people put something on there Camaro the is normally used by the pony car crowd.

I wouldn't know, actually. I am quite akin to the pony car trends and I have never seen those wheels, actually. I am more used to Mustangs with TTII's or these ugly chrome blang-blang wheels.

im not too concerned about the price of the tire. im buying a damn muscle car, their ment to go through some rubber. im not buying a honda. i know what to expect with a rwd v8 car with alot of hp. when you buy a car like this you have to prepare for the repair cost and replacement cost even after the arranty expires.

Even if they are forged they will be heavy. With the rubber you need to put on there and the size of that rim it is a ton of rotational mass that this car will need to move compared to say an 18.

I would step out and guess that at the VERY BEST that 21 will weigh in at like 28 lbs. Add a 35 lbs tire to that and you have a lot of loss there.

My current car has 17's and they weight 20lbs and 46 total with the rubber. Some people are swapping these out even b/c they are too heavy and opt for 17s that weigh like 16.5 lbs.

I am all for good looks but I don't want to sacrifice all that rolling mass for bling

im not too worried about the camaro being able to roll over a 21"wheels. putting a 21 on the ss is like putting the 20" on the rs package. the rs has less power but its still going to be a performer with the big rim. the ss will be just fine with a 21" wheel if the rs is doing as good as it is so far.

im not big on BLING either, i am white but i have good taste and i knw what looks good on a car. thats why chevy isnt doing anything smaller than a 18, because that style is out and there are new looks to a car.

If you google them, you'll see them mostly on Mustangs... which at the moment... kind of take up the pony car segment since the Challenger is too new for us to start seeing mods right away. So 13F20 is right.

These Konig's actually look pretty damn sweet if you ask me. I might just get them for my Camaro! They're like a more down to earth, deep-dished version of the 'Vert wheels.

dont know if i like that wheel. the description on the chevy page said something like a double bar 5 spoke. in black or polished

read it. its under accesories toward the bottom of the page.
the 6th bullet down.

Read the whole thing... here ill copy and underline the pertinent part...

The new Camaro is complemented by a wide range of available dealer-installed accessories that allows customers to create a more personal car.

Dealer installed =/= stock... Sure you can get them.. but they are still considered aftermarket and not options. This was my only beef with the topic.. everyone saw STOCK and assumed they would come from the factory (which you further implied because KBB said so in thier video). They are not stock, they are not factory options. THEY ARE DEALER INSTALLED ACCESSORIES.

[13F20]

No one ever said these were listed as being part of the accessories from the dealers. All I was saying is that some people liked the ones used on the Convertible concept and if they wanted to get something very close to those rims then these are a close second to them. So I informed every one where they could go to see what they look like and make a decision for them selves

Things about what if I decide to get an Eaton TVS R2300 supercharger that is used on the ZR1 sense the two cars share the same LS3 6.2 V8. All I can say from his response is this, “just weight till after Sema and the car hits the show room". But on rims. I have herd people talk about how they like the ones on the Convertible Concept. Well take a look at the "Konig Beyond" rims. They are mostly used by the pony car group, but just check out the similarity before you beat me to death and shoot me. Ow and dear god I hope the 21’s don’t look like the ones in that pic.

You had my complete attention at TVS 2300, LOL. I hope we get lots of info' from SEMA. I wish I could go...

I like the 'Verts wheels a lot. I too worry about the mass of the wheels and tires but I definately need a symetry in the wheelwells so I'll have to see one in person with the different sizes.

i dont know why your being like this but all i was wondering is what the hell the wheels look like. whether they are dealer installed or "stock" either way when i buy the car they come on it. and all i was wondering was what do they look like. they will still be covered under warranty and i will still be able to make them an option on my car so they are an option.

[GTAHVIT]

Guys, come on. We're arguing how we use the word 'options'? Diarmadhi is right. His explanation is how GM and the dealers will address these items.

Not something worth getting hot over.

[2010_5thgen]

hes right about what? i was the one who asked the question what the 21" wheels look like!
