They're badass and I like them, but can't decide between these and torque thrusts:

Kinda partial to the AR Torqlite myself. Too bad they don't come wider than 8".

k, i have a dumb question. By changing the wheels, does it void the warranty at all? I just really want some 20's that look like the concept wheels, and i will be dissapointed if they dont offer anything in chrome.

For me I'd have to go with Cragars new line up.

not the best photoshop job lol

It has to be Minilite-style from the old TransAM days... but no one makes them now in the right sizes. Or else non chrome/polished Torque Thrust II's like the GMMG cars from 2001 or 2002.

BTW, you'll see dozens of preproduction cars at SEMA show with aftermarket wheels on them. This car is going to be one of the all time most popular cars for new wheel styles.

Now i might get some heat for this but this is definatly a car that can go ahead and put some classic Cragars with some real fat Road Raised white letter Tires.

I'm going with the Foose Nitrous Legend wheels for my silver camaro. Want 17 x 7 in front, and 18 x 8 in rear. Not a big fan of huge rims - this seems like a good compromise to me. Plus, I think it will give it a great stance.

Hey, you're not alone, that is definitely a look I'd go for. Unfortunately the overwhelming majority would probably dislike it so I'll stick to my original "throwback to the 70's" mod and lower the front end a bit while keeping the rear stock giving it a raised ass look.

People are so 50/50 about white raised letter tires on new cars but on a car that's meant to convey a retro style such as this, I'd think they would look awesome. There's pics out there of guys that put WRL on their 2005-present Mustangs and they look sweet. However, there are also guys that put WRL tires on 4th-gen f-bodies that... ehh... don't look so good.

It depends on tire thickness, wheel, and shape of the car. This car looks muscular, that's a check. The wheels? You'd need the right kind to compliment the tires. It's a shame white raised letters only look good on meaty shoes since that way we'd have WRL tires AND huge ass wheels... kind of a win win. But nope, you need thick tires. Hell, the coolest example of WRL tires on a 4th Gen I've seen were some Hoosiers on a Dick Harrell Camaro.

Personally, what I'd like is to see a modern version of Chevrolet's original Rally that came on the Camaros:



Unfortunately that would be so ridiculously hard to pull off on a new car that it would probably end up looking like crap.
