OP, I agree, those are really nice wheels! I have the same problem. Really expensive taste in wheels on a Walmart budget. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to wait until I can afford what I want.

Ehh.. They're alright. Just not my taste. But I know they'll look good on your Camaro.

My main suggestion on them is to avoid the painted sections on top of chrome. That is a finish that is typically just for showcars that do not get driven. Any time you paint on top of chrome, it doesn't really have a good surface for the paint to bond to. They also have tape edges, and aren't protected in clearcoat. If you do two-tone centers, go with a brushed center and then they can clearcoat over both the brushed and the red areas. It will be far more durable.

Peter is the owner of the company. I'm just a dealer, and handle most of his Camaro inquiries.
