I like 'em too. Would look good painted white too. I don't think they would clear the brakes on the SS though.

The RS that I have has the regular SS brakes so at 18in it will clear unless you have the brembo brakes. I had 20's originally but wanted the red line tires.

You can get these up to 20's custom made for the Camaro from American Racing and they have the proper offset for the car. The paint also color shifts a bit from silver to black depending on light. They also come in Chrome. You will have to be careful with the 18's as the valve stem is on the inside and will require a shorty stem for the front and a street-roders flush mount for rear as it could catch the rear brake lines. As you move up in size check to be sure, you don't need to pull the flex brake hose's of...lol.

I don't have a full light pic yet but here's in the shade, you can see how black they can get.

You have 20 inch Rallys? Pics? For sale, how much? Any idea how much to ship to Mass?

Personally not a fan of black wheels. It does look really good on some cars though, hell my white jeep has black rims lol. Chrome, TOO HEAVY IMO. Polished/machined aluminum is the best looking. Polished lips machined face on my FIKSEs on my TA and full polished on my new KWCs on the SS. Now granted they are retarded expensive LOL but totally worth it.

But in all honestly, it's your car.. do what you want and what you like.

One of my personal favorites is the HRE FF01:

Sorry Edso, keeping the 20in wheels. All the factory parts are packed or boxed away in case I want to return it to stock.

Just about anything looks good on a Camaro! I'll be getting the zl1 replicas in black very soon.

Wow! I've been waiting for someone to so these with 18's. They look amazing and I can only imagine how much better they would look lowered a bit. How much did they cost you?
I'm jealous!

I love all of the Vossen rims on these 5th Gen's!

Chrome is still nice just has to be a certain rim to look nice! The SS factory rims looks nice with any finish! Too much of anything is not good !
